Mayank Yadav made a decent return to the IPL in the previous game against Mumbai Indians. The LSG pacer bagged two wickets while giving away 40 runs from four overs.

He picked the big wickets of Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya on his return. While he was expensive, having picked these wickets will give him confidence heading into the games ahead.

Playing at the Dharamsala, LSG will want Mayank Yadav to replicate and build on his display with the ball in the previous game. He will be instrumental in their pace attack against a strong PBKS batting line-up

#2 Arshdeep Singh

PBKS pacer Arshdeep Singh is their joint-highest leading wicket-taker this season. He has nabbed 13 wickets from 10 games at an average of 21.15 and an economy rate of 8.50.

In their previous match against Chennai Super Kings, he was among the wickets again, dismissing Shaik Rasheed and Shivam Dube. He returned with figures of 2/25 from 3.2 overs.

Against an attacking LSG batting unit with the likes of Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, and Nicholas Pooran at the top, Arshdeep will have a vital role to play in the powerplay for Punjab. Early wickets will be key and the left-arm pacer will have his task cut out.

Yuzvendra Chahal had a spectacular game against CSK in the previous outing for PBKS. He bowled a magnificent spell of 4/32 from three overs and even picked up a crucial hat-trick, his second in the IPL.

Chahal, who had a slow start to the season, has been among the wickets consistently in the past few games. He now has 13 wickets from 10 games at an average of 21.07 and an economy rate of 9.44.

The leg-spinner is in top form coming into the game against LSG. Punjab will bank on him to continue picking wickets as they aim to continue from their win in the last game and strengthen their chances of making the playoffs.
