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, but citing the home advantage, Jonny Bairstow should be a better pick for fantasy cricket in the wicket-keeping department. Both of them are having a great run in the ongoing season of the IPL, but Bairstow has been more consistent in terms of run-scoring in the tournament.
Batsmen
Going by the current batting form of both the teams, Suresh Raina, Kedar Jadhav, Ambati Rayudu, and David Warne are one of the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Apart from them, there are some useful batsmen in the line-ups as well, like Faf du Plessis, and Vijay Shankar.
All-rounders
There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but going by the current form, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mitchell Santner seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for fantasy cricket is Mohammad Nabi.
