Tonight in IPL, we are going to witness an important clash between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals. It is a crucial game for both the teams to qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, here are our picks for the Dream11 fantasy league of this match.
Star Players:
KL Rahul:
Rahul is currently the leading runscorer of the tournament right now. He is the main player in Punjab’s batting order and will be a must-buy for many Dream11 fantasy league players.
Nicholas Pooran:
The strong pillar in the middle-order of Punjab. If the top-order fails, Pooran will definitely rise up to the occasion. He did it in the past and can do it tonight as well.
Ben Stokes:
His unbeaten century helped Rajasthan win over Mumbai in the last game. As he is back to the form, Stokes will be a key player in this side.
Jofra Archer:
Archer is now the leading wicket-taker for Rajasthan Royals. He can be deadly in the early powerplay overs and the death overs as well. Dealing him will be a big task for Punjab.
Dark Horses:
Mohammed Shami:
Shami is currently the second leading wicket-taker of the tournament. Though he may give away a few runs, he will take a wicket or two for sure.
Chris Gayle:
Ever since he started playing in this season, he is performing consistently well for the Kings XI Punjab. He can be a good pick for your Dream11 fantasy league.
Sanju Samson:
After failing in a few games, Sanju Samson came back strong in the last game against Mumbai. As he got back his mojo, Samson can be a good pick for sure.
Steve Smith:
As it is a must-win game for Rajasthan, we expect a captain innings from Steve Smith. He can be a deadly player once he settles in the crease. Go for him.
Uncapped Gems:
Rahul Tewatia:
Last time when RR faced KXIP, Tewatia played a sensational knock and gave a stunning victory to Rajasthan. Expect another match-winning game from him.
Ravi Bishnoi:
As the pitches are slowing down, Bishnoi will play an important role in this game. He is doing extremely well by picking up wickets in the middle-overs. Try picking him up.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Kings XI Punjab: KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal/Mandeep Singh, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Deepak Hooda, Chris Jordan, M Ashwin, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh
Rajasthan Royals: Robin Uthappa, Ben Stokes, Steve Smith, Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Ankit Rajpoot, Kartik Tyagi
