Chennai Super Kings made a strong statement to its critics by winning their last match by 10 wickets. They will be taking on Kolkata Knight Riders tonight. If you are confused about choosing the right players for your fantasy league, try picking up some players from the list below.
Star Players:
Faf du Plessis:
Faf is currently the second leading run-scorer of this season. He made 282 runs in the five matches he played in. Going by his form, he will be a blind pick for many Dream11 fantasy league players.
Shubman Gill:
Gill is currently the highest run-scorer for KKR in this edition. He did well in a few games and he failed in a few others. But as he is an opener, picking him up in your Dream11 team will not be a bad idea.
Andre Russel:
Generally, Russel is known for his power-hitting skills but this time, he is doing the job with the ball more than the bat. He picked up four wickets in five games. If he does well with both the ball and the bat, you will have more points in your kitty.
Sam Curran:
Sam Curran has turned out to be a genuine all-rounder for CSK. He is picking up wickets and also hitting some big sixes. He can be an asset to your team.
Dark Horses:
Sunil Narine:
Narine is yet to make an impact this season. However, as the pitch condition in Dubai is a bit slow, we expect him to do well in this game.
Piyush Chawla:
Piyush Chawla is the highest wicket-taker for Chennai Super Kings as of now. Though he is leaking a few runs, he is also picking up some crucial wickets in the matches.
Eoin Morgan:
Morgan almost won it for KKR in their last match. All he needs to do is to come up in the batting order. If he does that, we can expect Morgan to play a big innings.
Ambati Rayudu:
After his return from the injury, Rayudu is yet to play a big game for his team. Anyways, we think that he will be a good pick for your Dream11 team, going by his batting abilities.
Uncapped Gems:
Nitish Rana:
Rana scored a half-century in the last match but he failed to take his team to the victory. However, we feel that he will play a good game in this match as well.
Varun Chakravarthy:
When everyone thought that it will be Sunil Narine or Kuldeep Yadav who will do well for the team, it turned out to be Varun Chakravarthy. He is a good spinner with wicket-taking abilities. Go for him.
Here are the probable XI of both the teams:
Kolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik, Andre Russel, Eoin Morgan, Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav
Chennai Super Kings: Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, Kedhar Jadhav, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Dwayne Bravo, Shardul Thakur, Piyush Chawla, Deepak Chahar
