Tabraiz Shamsi could hold the key to Royals' hopes
Shamsi has picked up 41 wickets in 28 T20 encounters this year, which makes him the third most successful bowler in the format in 2021, behind Rashid Khan and Mustafizur Rahman.
Apart from a stellar economy rate of 6.6 runs per over, the Protea tweaker also has an impressive strike rate of 14.8.
Shamsi could be an asset for Royals against Punjab Kings as he will get a natural turn away from left-handers like Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran. If included in the playing XI, Shamsi could prove to be the deciding factor in this crunch encounter.
