PBKS vs DC Dream11 Captaincy picks:

Sikandar Raza: While he was not in the best of forms in the PSL 2024, Raza was a beast at the end of 2023, scoring five back-to-back fifties for Zimbabwe. Raza was also in good touch during the previous edition of the IPL.

David Warner: Warner was in good form during the Australia vs West Indies T20I series, where he scored two half-centuries in four matches. His slow run in IPL 2023 was a matter of concern and he would like to overturn it now
