Jaipur Pink Panthers are coming off a solid 42-25 win over Bengal Warriors in the previous game. Arjun Deshwal grabbed his 10th Super 10 with 15 raid points while Ankush secured a High 5. The Panthers are now ranked second as Puneri Paltan took the first spot on Saturday after a tie with Patna Pirates.

Arjun Deshwal is unquestionably the best choice for the role of the captain/vice-captain of your JAI vs BLR Dream11 team.

He has garnered 172 raid points in 15 matches, averaging 11.46 at a 62% strike rate. He has 132 successful raids along with three Super raids.

Arjun claimed his 10th Super 10 against the Warriors in their recent game. However, he had underperformed against the Bulls in the reverse fixture but will surely attempt to make a resurgence in the upcoming JAI vs BLR Dream11 match.
