Probable Best Players of the Match

Probable Best Batter

Shikhar Dhawan: He could be the best batter in game 27 of the ongoing IPL 2024. With 174 runs in his last five matches, Dhawan has been instrumental in giving his side a good start. Putting the past results behind him, he will be keen on continuing to give a solid start and build his innings against Rajasthan Royals as well.

Probable Best Bowler

Trent Boult: He could be the best bowler in game 27 of the IPL 2024. With five wickets in five matches, Boult has been brilliant for the Royals, and Punjab will be wary of the Kiwi pacer’s opening spell in the game. Though the left arm quick hasn't fired in the last two games, he was very economical. He will be willing to give his team a breakthrough early in the innings.
