Let’s examine the top fantasy selections for the MI vs. PBKS game.

Suryakumar Yadav:  For the PBKS vs. MI Qualifier 2 match, Suryakumar Yadav is an essential fantasy choice. With 640 runs at an average of 71 and a strike rate of 167, he is in scorching form. Surya is a strong candidate for the Orange Cap now that Gujarat has been eliminated.

Shreyas Iyer: At No. 4, Shreyas Iyer continues to be the foundation of the Punjab Kings and can revolutionise fantasy football. The weakness in PBKS’ middle order was made clear by his ejection for just two in Qualifier 1 versus RCB.

 Jasprit Bumrah: A great fantasy choice for the PBKS vs. MI Qualifier 2 matchup is Jasprit Bumrah. With 17 IPL 2025 wickets, including 1/27 in the high-scoring Eliminator, he has continuously made an impression. His game-changing yorker stopped GT’s momentum by ending a risky 84-run stand between Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar.

Rohit Sharma: He has once again demonstrated why he is a big-match player by stepping up in pivotal games. In the Eliminator match against GT, his 81 off 50 balls served as a timely reminder of his class. He has played freely and aggressively as an impact substitute in the 2025 Indian Premier League, hitting four massive fifties in his previous eight appearances.
