In the 37th match of the Indian Match 37 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be locking horns with Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Monday. Despite having a powerful batting line-up, RR has failed to score runs on a consistent basis. Their previous outing in the IPL ended in a defeat against RCB despite skipper, Steve Smith scoring a brilliant half-century.

The form of Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler will be a concerning factor for the Royals have been a cause of concern for the Royals as they have been heavily relying on Jofra Archer and Rahul Tewatia with ball and bat respectively. With just three wins to show for their efforts so far, the Royals need to win all their games in order to stand a chance to reach the playoffs. Like the Royals, CSK is also reeling at the bottom half of the table with three wins in nine games.

MS Dhoni and his men have been sorely deserted this season so far, and with Bravo’s injury in the loss against DC, the CSK has a lot to ponder as they try to keep alive their slim hopes to win their fourth IPL trophy on Monday. In the earlier game, Sanju Samson and Steve Smith were seen plundering the CSK bowlers to all parts of the ground in Sharjah.

With their campaigns on the line, both teams would look to give their best at the business end of the competition. Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-

Wicket-Keepers

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 RR, Sanju Samson 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

Steve Smith, Robin Uthappa, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayduu, and Faf du Plessis have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Riyan Parag 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 Kedar Jadhav, and Rituraj Gaikwad (if he plays).

All-rounders

There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but citing the pitch in Abu Dhabi, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rahul Tewatia seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for IPL fantasy cricket is Ben Stokes.

Bowlers

Both the teams don’t have decent bowling line-ups but they have managed to do a decent job. Bowlers like  Kartik Tyagi, Shreyas Gopal, Jofra Archer, Shardul Thakur, and Piyush Chawla become the obvious choices for the IPL Fantasy XI on the sticky track of Abu Dhabi. Apart from them, some crucial bowlers can be like, Karn Sharma and Deepak Chahar.
