After a few quiet performances, PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer roared back to form with a match-winning 72-run knock against the Chennai Super Kings in the last game. With 360 runs in 10 games at a remarkable strike rate of 180.90, he has been PBKS' top run scorer this season.
Given his consistency and ability to anchor the innings, Iyer is a strong candidate for captaincy in your fantasy team. His recent form suggests he could deliver another big innings against LSG.

The Australian all-rounder has been a reliable performer for LSG in IPL 2025. In 9 games, Marsh has amassed 378 runs with a strike rate of 158.82 and an average of 42, including four half-centuries.
Even when he doesn’t score big, Marsh provides quick starts with his aggressive batting. He is a good pick for vice captain for this game because of his versatility with the bat and the ball.

The experienced leg-spinner had a slow start to the season but has since become a key wicket-taker for PBKS. With two four-wicket hauls in his last four games, Chahal is now PBKS’ leading wicket-taker this season with 13 scalps in 10 matches.
Given his recent form and ability to trouble batters on a Dharamsala pitch that may assist spinners, Chahal is an excellent vice-captaincy option for this match.
With high stakes in this crucial encounter, Shreyas Iyer, Mitchell Marsh, and Yuzvendra Chahal stand out as the best captain and vice-captain choices for the PBKS vs LSG clash.
