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

Wicket-Keepers

Going by the current form, MS Dhoni seems to be a better pick for fantasy cricket in the wicket-keeping department. However, the Chennai pitch is supposed to be bowling friendly wicket and Dinesh Karthik has been quite inconsistent with his form lately, but one has to agree with the fact a player of his stature can gain his form back in any game. 

Batsmen

Going by the current batting form of both the teams, Suresh Raina, Faf Du Plessis, and Chris Lynn become one of the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Apart from them, there are some useful batsmen in the line-ups as well, like Nitish Rana, Robin Uthappa, Kedar Jadhav, Shane Watson, and Shubman Gill.  

All-rounders

There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but going by the current form, Ravindra Jadeja, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, only another quality all-rounder is Mitchell (if he plays).
