Pardeep appears to be in red-hot form in the last six games, claiming three Super 10s, including the most recent one against Bengal Warriors. He also gave his season-best performance against the Patna Pirates in the reverse fixture, garnering 21 raid points.

Having secured five Super 10s, two Super raids, and 106 raid points in 13 matches, Pardeep will be a smart choice for the role of vice-captain of your PAT vs UP Dream11 teams.

With an impressive 3.38 average and a 51% success rate, Sumit stands out as one of the top choices for the role of captain/vice-captain of your PAT vs UP Dream11 team.

With six Super 10s and a fine 8.31 average, Sachin will be the best choice for the position of captain/vice-captain of your PAT vs UP Dream11 teams.
