The mid-table team Kolkata Knight Riders now takes on the table toppers Chennai Super Kings at the grand home, Eden Gardens, Kolkata. KKR have lost four out of their eight matches whereas CSK has managed to win six out of their eight matches. Here is how the fantasy team should be for this match.

Venue:

Enden Gardens, Kolkata- Average 1st innings score – 155. Pitch gets better for spinners as it wears on.

Dream Team Selection:

Wicketkeepers –

Two very good options here in MS Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik. Both get to bat in almost all the matches and anyone can be selected according to the team balance.

Batsmen –

The one obvious pick is Ambati Rayudu. Lynn, Raina, and Uthappa are other good options. Nitish Rana, Shubhman Gill are other choices. Any of Du Plessis and Billings will be a risky pick.

All-rounders –

Shane Watson and Andre Russell again obvious choices. Toss up will be between Sunil Narine and Dwayne Bravo, Narine is a safer pick considering the match is at Eden Gardens.

Bowlers –

Two Kolkata spinners are good options to go with if the budget allows. Lungi Ngidi and KM Asif will play in this match and they are very cheap.

Suggested Team –
