This one could be a treat to watch. Two teams are full of power hitters. Chris Gayle, KL Rahul, Jos Butler, Nicholas Pooran and Ben Stokes. Also, the team is full of Indian talents in Sanju Samson, Rahul Tripathi, Mandeep Singh etc. The match will also see the return of Steve Smith after a long ban. Also, Jofra Archer, Andrew Tye, and Mohd Shami will showcase their fast bowling skills. Also, Varun Chakravarthy could be a surprise package and Sam Curran could be a dark horse. Our team for today would be:
Pitch and Weather report:
It's Jaipur and its march. Expect the temperature to be on the higher side. The pitch will be helpful for batsmen. Expect 170 in the first innings.
The final team will be:
Wicket-Keeper:
KL Rahul: Because he opens, is explosive and scored two 50+ scored against RR in the last match. A must in your fantasy team. Expect a quickfire innings from him. Not taking him in the team would be a bad idea.
Batsman:
Ajinkya Rahane: Open. A dependable batsman for scoring 30-40 runs. Do not expect more than that. Still a good buy.
Sanju Samson: If there is one theme from the past few seasons it is that Samson always starts out well. An amazing player and can prove really critical in crunch situations.
Rahul Tripathi: A useful player and can guarantee a quickfire 30-40. Can play all through from number 1 to number 7. Also low cost.
Chris Gayle: Not taking him might prove costly as even if he bats for 10 overs, he can kill the game. Amazing strength and also has come out of great form from the England series. Must be included.
Mayank Agarwal: His consistency grants him a place in the dream 11 squads.
All Rounder:
This category was the easiest to chose:
Ben Stokes: If one of the two teams have Ben Stokes why will you even go to some other player for an all-rounder. So for one all-rounder place, we would go with Ben Stokes and will also make him our captain.
K Gowtham: He can hit a few lofty hits. Also will bowl 4 overs which might prove beneficial on a dry Jaipur wicket. Must take.
Bowlers:
Jofra Archer: The English seamer is a revelation in the world of fast bowling and can be the english hidden weapon in the World Cup. Again a must in your fantasy team.
Mujeeb Ur Rehman: His mystery spin proved very difficult to face for the opposition team. A few wickets can be expected and hence a player in the team.
A Tye: The purple cap winner of IPL 11. Has a knack of taking wickets in the death overs. A must buy for your fantasy team.
