Tonight in IPL, we are going to witness a clash between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. It is an important match for KKR to qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, we give you a list of players who can perform well in the Dream11 fantasy league.
Star Players:
Faf du Plessis:
du Plessis started off the tournament well but lost the fuzz during the mid-season. He, however, has done well in the last couple of matches. Expect a good game from him tonight.
Sam Curran:
Curran is currently the most valuable player for Chennai Super Kings. His consistency in the batting and the bowling departments makes him a good pick for your Dream11 fantasy league.
Eoin Morgan:
The main pillar of the weak KKR middle-order. He is the only man performing well for them in that vulnerable middle-order. Try picking him up in this game as well.
Sunil Narine:
After his comeback, Narine is doing well with both the ball and the bat. He is a top player for KKR for over the years and has a good record against CSK. Go for him.
Dark Horses:
Ambati Rayudu:
Rayudu strengthens the middle-order of CSK. Though he is not in his best form, he can rise up to the occasion and save his team at any point. Pick him in your Dream11 fantasy league.
Deepak Chahar:
This quickie is able to pick up early wickets in the powerplay overs. If he manages to take crucial wickets in the first six overs, you will have many wickets in your kitty.
Lockie Ferguson:
When Pat Cummins failed to deliver for KKR, Ferguson is doing that job. He is doing well in the bowling department for the men in purple. A decent pick for sure.
Shubman Gill:
Gill has done well in the last game against Kings XI Punjab. It is good to see him firing in the top-order with a good strike rate. We expect him to do well in this match as well.
Uncapped Gems:
Ruturaj Gaikwad:
Gaikwad single-handedly won the match for CSK in the last game against RCB. He showed the spark which MS Dhoni wanted. We predict that he will play a crucial role in this game.
Varun Chakravarthy:
We don’t need to introduce him by now. He has become a frontline spinner of KKR this season. Going by the slow conditions of the pitch, Chakravarthy will be a good pick for your Dream11 fantasy league.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Kolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik, Eoin Morgan, Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins/Andre Russell, Lockie Ferguson, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Prasidh Krishna, Varun Chakravarthy
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, N Jagadeesan, MS Dhoni, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Imran Tahir, Monu Kumar
