Batsmen

Going by the current batting form of both the teams, Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal, and David Miller 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 AB de Villiers, Mandeep Singh, and Akshdeep Nath.

All-rounders

There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but going by the current form, Ravichandran Ashwin and Moeen Ali to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for IPL fantasy cricket is Marcus Stoinis.
