Fantasy Tips
In wicket keeping, Rishabh Pant will be best choice.
It is advised to make balanced combination as the pitch is equally good for batters and bowlers.
It was Kagiso Rabadas brilliance in the super over that got them two important points as Kings XI Punjab. He will once again be cruicial
Faf with two fifties in 2 games is in his prime form, He is a good choice of captain to go with
Even though Mohit Sharma managed to pick up a wicket in the previous match, it was more because of an irresponsible shot selection by the batsman. He can be a good GL pick
Shikhar Dhawan got on a duck in last game, but he is a world class opener and must pick in the team
Small League Must Picks:
CSK: Sam Curran, Deepak Chahar, Faf Du Plessis Delhi Capitals: Kagiso Rabada, S Iyer, R Pant
Grand League Risky Picks:
CSK: S Watson Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw
