Let us take you’ll to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-

Wicket-Keepers

In the last game at Chepauk, MS Dhoni played his best T20 knock ever, hence, he becomes the obvious choice for Fantasy XI. However, the other option was KL Rahul, who hasn’t been able to play any impactful knock in IPL 2019 so far.

Batsmen

Despite the fact that Chris Gayle didn’t play in the last game, it’s difficult to ignore someone of his ability in fantasy cricket. Apart from him, Mayank Agarwal, Kedar Jadhav, and Suresh Raina are also in great form, which makes them the obvious inclusions. Apart from them, there are some really good options like Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, David Miller, and Sarfaraz Khan.

All-rounders

In the all-rounder department, there are a plethora of good options, but with Dwayne Bravo out of IPL 2019, in terms of the current form, only R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja make the cut. Apart from them, the few good options are like Sam Curran and Mitchell Santner.

Bowlers

Bowlers of both the teams have done pretty well this season, so it will be difficult to choose. However, on the basis of the current form, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar, Mohammad Shami, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are the best picks. Apart from them, there are a few good options there like  Hardus Viljoen, Shardul Thakur, Andrew Tye, and M Ashwin.
