On this lazy Sunday weekend, Rajasthan Royals will be taking on Kings XI Punjab. Both teams have won their respective last match. They will be eyeing for another victory tonight. We expect this to be a high scoring game and thus, we bring you a set of players who can get you plenty of points in your Dream11 fantasy leagues.
Star Players:
KL Rahul:
Rahul is in smoking hot form this season. In the last match, he made a blistering century and helped his team to win the match. We expect an another good innings from the Punjab skipper this time as well.
Steve Smith:
Steve Smith played an anchor role in Rajasthan’s first match. He will come in the third position of batting this time. Considering the record of Smith, you can place him in your Dream11 IPL team.
Jos Buttler:
Buttler will be playing his first match tonight. He is a striking batsman who will open the innings. Rajasthan has put high hopes on him and mostly, he won’t disappoint.
Sanju Samson:
Samson played a stunning game in the first match. His 70+ runs helped Rajasthan to win against CSK. Looking at his current form, this young man can go big in this match as well.
Dark Horses:
Mohammed Shami:
Shami gave a good performance in the last two matches. He is taking early wickets in the powerplay and his bowling is also very economical. He will be a valuable addition to your team.
Sheldon Cottrell:
Another bowler who is doing extremely well for Punjab. His economy is good in the powerplay overs and he is also taking some early wickets. You can buy him for fewer credits and thus, he will be a good pick.
Jofra Archer:
Archer is one of the best bowlers in the modern international cricket. In the last match, he proved that he can swing his bat pretty well. Considering his all-round abilities, he will be a good choice.
Mayank Agarwal:
Mayank played almost match-winning innings in the first match of Punjab. Though he failed to do well in the second game, you cannot underestimate his talent. Choose him in your Dream11 side and he may give you good numbers.
Uncapped Gems:
Yashaswi Jaiswal:
This U-19 cricketer made a lot of noise in the auction. RR pinned a lot of hopes on him but he failed to deliver in the first match. But he can do well this game. So, pick him up without any second thoughts.
Ravi Bishnoi:
Bishnoi became a key player for Punjab by playing only two matches. He is picking up wickets in the middle overs and is giving momentum to his team. Trust his young man and go for him.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Kings XI Punjab: KL Rahul, Chris Gayle/Nicholas Pooran, Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, Glenn Maxwell, Sarfaraz Khan, Jimmy Neesham, Sheldon Cottrell, Krishnappa Gowtham, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami
Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Steve Smith, Sanju Samson, Robin Uthappa, Rahul Tewatia, Riyan Parag, Tom Curran, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat
