In the second game tonight, we will witness an encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. It is a knock-out game for both the teams. Ahead of this match, here are our picks for the Dream11 fantasy league.
Star Players:
Ben Stokes:
Stokes is in a stupendous form from the last two games. He will be a player to watch out for in this match as well. Go for him without any second thoughts.
Jofra Archer:
Archer is currently the leading wicket-taker for Rajasthan Royals. Going by his current form, he will be a crucial player in this decider.
Eoin Morgan:
The strong player in the middle-order of Kolkata Knight Riders. If he manages to perform well, then you will have many points in your kitty.
Sunil Narine:
Narine is a good all-rounder pick in KKR. In the absence of Russell, he played a couple of games well on the batting front. Pick him up in your Dream11 fantasy team.
Dark Horses:
Steve Smith:
Steve Smith played well in the last game and gave a win for his side. As this match will be a knockout game for his team, we expect Smith to play a responsible inning.
Sanju Samson:
Sanju Samson played an important role in RR’s last match victory. As he found back his mojo, he will be a good pick for your Dream11 fantasy team.
Shubman Gill:
Gill should fire on the top of the order of KKR. If he manages to do that, his team will have a good chance of posting a big total on the scoreboard.
Lockie Ferguson:
Lockie Ferguson has become the frontline pacer for KKR after the failure of Pat Cummins. We predict that he will be a crucial player in this game as well.
Uncapped Gems:
Varun Chakravarthy:
The leading spinner for KKR. As the pitches are becoming slow of late, Varun Chakravarthy has good chances of taking some crucial wickets in the middle-overs.
Rahul Tewatia:
Rahul Tewatia is another good all-rounder option for your Dream11 fantasy league. He is doing well with both the ball and the bat. Pick him up.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Kolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins/Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakravarthy.
Rajasthan Royals: Ben Stokes, Robin Uthappa, Steve Smith, Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Varun Aaron, Kartik Tyagi, Shreyas Gopal
