Last night, we watched the greatest chase in IPL history. Tonight, we will witness a big clash between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Ahead of this game, we give you our fantasy picks who we think will do well in this match.
Star Players:
Virat Kohli:
The six months hiatus may have affected Virat Kohli a bit but we cannot just take him away from the team. RCB needs a win badly and it is high time for Kohli to do the job for them.
AB de Villiers:
de Villiers has put a stunning show in the first two matches. He has been one of the most valuable players for RCB and he continues to be so. Pick him up if you have enough credits in your Dream11 kitty.
Rohit Sharma:
Rohit came back to form by scoring a stunning 80 in Mumbai’s last match. He is a deadly opener who loves to bat against weak bowling attacks like RCB. So, expect another spectacular show from him.
Jasprit Bumrah:
Bumrah is showing his quality of pace once again in this edition. It is good to see him taking on batsmen and not giving them many chances of scoring runs. A good pick for your Dream11 fantasy team.
Dark Horses:
Quinton de Kock:
de Kock is yet to perform big for MI. He needs to step up and give a good headstart to his team. If Mumbai bats second, we can expect some responsible show from this young man.
Trent Boult:
Boult has been a good buy for MI this season. He proved to be lethal in the first two matches. If you don’t have many credits to buy the star players, you can pick this quick-gun.
Yuzvendra Chahal:
The only bowler in RCB on whom Kohli can rely on at any given point. Chahal has been exemplary in the first two matches and he can put on a big show in this game too.
Shivam Dube:
Though Dube failed to hit big in the first two games, he did well as a bowler. When the rest of the bowlers were struggling, Dube gave some respite to his team along with Chahal. You can pick him in your Dream11 team if you have fewer credits.
Uncapped Gems:
Devdutt Paddikal:
Devdutt Paddikal made a stunning debut by scoring a half-century in the first match. In the very next match, he got out for one run. Such is the cruelty of this format. But considering the abilities of this young man, you can pick him up.
Suryakumar Yadav:
Yadav gave a good show in the first two matches. We predict that he will be a key player in this game too. Choose him on your side without any second thoughts.
Here are the probable XI of both the teams:
Mumbai Indians: Quinton de Kock, Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav, Sourabh Tiwary, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, James Pattinson, Trent Boult, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Devdutt Paddikal, Aaron Finch, Josh Philippe, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Shivam Dube, Washington Sunder, Dale Steyn/Isuru Udana, Umesh Yadav/Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Navdeep Saini
