Let us take you’ll to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-
Wicket-Keepers
Despite the fact that Quinton de Kock failed to take his team over the line in the last game. He was timing the ball beautifully and he can be match-winner on the Bangalore pitch as he will be expected to continue his great international form. However, the other option for the wicket-keeping is Parthiv Patel who was the lone warrier for RCB in the last game against CSK and with RCB now playing at home. Discarding him can be risky as the only thinsg doesn’t go on his side is that he lacks in match-practice as compared to De Kock.
Batsmen
In terms of the last games of both the teams, only Yuvraj Singh seems to be the only fit. But one has to consider the fact that RCB batting line-up is full of match-winners hence, Virat Kohli, Ab de Villiers, and Shimron Hetmyer makes the cut, especially at home conditions. The other suitable options for the batting line-up can be the MI skipper Rohit Sharma along with his teammate Surya Kumar Yadav
All-rounders
After the last game, the all-rounder of both the teams failed to deliver. One can’t ignore the fact that players like Hardik Pandya, Ben Cutting, and Moeen Ali can win matches of their respective teams from the jaws of defeat. Considering the conditions in Bangalore, there is not much room for the all-rounders in the Fantasy cricket. So, the young Shivam Dube and Krunal Pandya can be a good option. As the latter has been known for doing good against RCB.
Bowlers
In the last game, CSK defeated RCB while chasing 70 runs, but they took almost 19 overs to do so and a lot of credit for the same should go to Navdeep Saina and Yuzvendra Chahal, who bowled some tight lines in the start of the innings, along with them in the last season, Umesh Yadav was seen spitting fire on the Bangalore pitch, so he is also difficult to ignore. However, the other options can be, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah (if fit), and Mohammad Siraj.
