Karim feels other in-form players from the CPL. It is like Lewis and Pooran should also play. He had to say about the upcoming encounter between PBKS and RR.
“I still think Chris Gayle should open the innings and that is where he will have the most impact. My advice to both teams will be to play the players who are in great form. Evin Lewis had scored a century in CPL. Nicholas Pooran and Gayle are also in good form. The turnaround time is really less and RR has an outside chance of qualifying so there should be no mistake in the playing XI.”

Saba Karim is an opinion that all three of the RR’s Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakariya, and Jaydev Unadkat. This cooperation had given RR success in the first phase. Karim feels they should stick to it instead of trying anything different.
“I think Chetan Sakariya and Mustafizur Rahman should play. Rahman was brilliant against New Zealand. We have also seen how good Sakariya has been. Unadkat can also play. This combination had given RR some success in the first half too,” Saba Karim said.
