In the first game of today’s doubleheader, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Chennai Super Kings. The match will be held in Dubai. Here are our picks for the Dream11 fantasy league.
Star Players:
Virat Kohli:
Given his fantastic record against Chennai, Kohli will be a player to watch out for in this match. Even in the last game he played against CSK, Kohli gave a superb performance. Go for him.
AB de Villiers:
If the top-order of RCB fails to perform, expect a match-winning innings from ABD. He has been doing it over the years and he can do it today as well.
Sam Curran:
Curran was the one who played superb innings in the last game for CSK. Going by his all-round abilities, he will be a great pick for your Dream11 fantasy team.
Faf du Plessis:
The leading run-scorer for Chennai Super Kings. Even though he failed to do well in the last couple of games, du Plessis is a player who cannot be underestimated.
Dark Horses:
Yuzvendra Chahal:
Chahal is currently the leading wicket-taker for RCB. As the pitches are slowing down every day, we can expect a good performance from this leggie.
Ambati Rayudu:
The only reliable batsman in the middle-order of CSK. As there is nothing to lose from now on, we expect a care-free game from Rayudu.
Deepak Chahar:
Chahar will play a crucial role in containing the runs and picking up early wickets during the powerplay overs. If he manages to get some swing, you will get some points for sure.
Mohammed Siraj:
We are yet to forget the superb spell of Siraj in RCB’s last game. Going by his form with the new ball, Siraj can be a good pick in your Dream11 fantasy league.
Uncapped Gems:
Devdutt Padikkal:
This young opener is doing extremely well for RCB right from the beginning. As you can get him for fewer credits, he will be a good pick for sure.
N Jagadeesan:
Jagadeesan is a capable batsman who can play a good game in the middle-order. We predict that he showcases his talent in this game against RCB.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Devdutt Padikkal, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Gurukeerat Mann, Chris Morris, Washington Sunder, Isuru Udana, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
Chennai Super Kings: Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, N Jagadeesan, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur/KM Asif, Josh Hazlewood/Mitchell Santner, Imran Tahir
