Chennai Super Kings is still technically not out from the league. If they win the rest of the four games, they have a slight chance of getting into the playoffs. Thus, they will be looking forward to winning the game against Mumbai Indians tonight. Here are our Dream11 fantasy picks for this match.
Star Players:
Faf du Plessis:
Probably, one of the few players who has done well for Chennai this season. He is also the leading runscorer for them. As there is nothing to lose, we can expect du Plessis to play a free game tonight.
Quinton de Kock:
de Kock had a bad start to the season but he came back strong. He has been giving consistently good performances for the last few games. Thus, you can pick him up in your Dream11 fantasy league team.
Jasprit Bumrah:
Bumrah is currently the leading wicket-taker for Mumbai. Considering the batting lineup of Chennai, we think Bumrah will play a crucial role in this game.
Ambati Rayudu:
Another valuable player in the side of Chennai Super Kings. He had performed well in the first game against Mumbai. We predict yet another similar inning from him in this match.
Dark Horses:
Sam Curran:
Curran is a perfect all-rounder in the setup of CSK. He is also doing well in the side as an opener as well. He will be the best all-rounder pick for this game.
Deepak Chahar:
The leading wicket-taker for Chennai Super Kings. He is the one who can scalp some big wickets in the powerplay. A decent bowling option for your Dream11 fantasy league team.
Trent Boult:
The second leading wicket-taker for MI. He will be deadly during the powerplay overs. Boult will be a good option if you don’t have enough credits to buy Bumrah.
Rohit Sharma:
Rohit is unable to play a big inning for the last few games but he is not a player to be underestimated. Go for him as he has a good record against CSK.
Shardul Thakur:
Shardul is going to be another good pick in the CSK’s side. Even though he can leak a few runs, he will be a good option to buy in your Dream11 fantasy league.
Uncapped Gems:
Rahul Chahar:
Chahar has now become the frontline spinner for Mumbai. Given the slow conditions in Sharjah, Chahar can be a good uncapped pick in your team.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Chennai Super Kings: Faf du Plessis, Sam Curran, Shane Watson/N Jagadeesan, Ambati Rayudu, Kedhar Jadhav/Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Jos Hazlewood, Piyush Chawla/Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur
Mumbai Indians: Quinton de Kock, Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Nathan Coulter-Nile/James Pattinson, Trent Boult, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah
