MS Dhoni 

With none of the players having much of a practice, MS Dhoni seems to be a better pick as he has been known for making a strong comeback and he will be much more effective on slow pitches this season. However, for DC, Alex Carey will be keeping the wickets as he is known for playing match-winning knocks, but in order to maintain the balance of the IPL Fantasy XI, Dhoni seems the better pick.

Batsmen

Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayduu, and Faf du Plessis have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Ajinkya Rahane can also be added in fantasy cricket and that will depend on the balance of the squad. Apart from them, there are some useful batsmen in the line-ups as well, like Prithvi Shaw, and Rituraj Gaikwad (if he plays).

There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but citing the pitch in Sharjah, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, DJ Bravo, and Marcus Stoinis seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for IPL fantasy cricket is Axar Patel.

Bowlers

Both the teams don’t have decent bowling line-ups but they have managed to do a decent job. Bowlers like Kagiso Rabada, Ancrich Nortje, R Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, and Piyush Chawla become the obvious choices for the IPL Fantasy XI on the sticky track of Sharjah. Apart from them, some crucial bowlers can be like, Karn Sharma and Deepak Chahar.
