In IPL 2022 Super Sunday, the match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be played tonight. In this match which will be played at DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai, there will be a stiff competition between the two teams. RCB will take the field under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, then command of Punjab has been handed over to Mayank Agarwal. There are plenty of veteran players on both teams that all eyes will be on. Let’s take a look at these.
1. In the match between Punjab and RCB, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli. Virat had left the team captaincy last season and will now reinforce the team as a batsman. Kohli can open for RCB. Last year he scored 405 runs in 15 IPL matches.
2. The new RCB captain, Faf du Plessis, was bought by the team in the mega auction paying a huge amount and then he has been given a huge responsibility. Du Plessis had created a lot of panic with the bat last season and scored 633 runs in 16 games. Now it remains to be seen what du Plessis’ batting record and captaincy will be like with the new team.
3. Legendary player Dinesh Karthik was bought by RCB at auction in the past paying crores of rupees. He was in KKR last season and his bat was a complete flop. This time RCB has high hopes for him. Karthik scored just 223 runs in 17 games last season.
4. Punjab Kings captain Mayank Agarwal will be seen in a new role this time. He will do his best to give the team a good start. In the last season, he played only 12 games in which he scored 441 runs as a best average. Now there will be pressure of good captaincy on him.
5. This time left-handed batsman Shikhar Dhawan will be seen playing for Punjab. In the last season he made a lot of noise for Delhi and scored 587 runs in 16 matches. He will open for Punjab with Mayank Agarwal.
