In the 39th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) locking horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. Amid all the chaos surrounding the captaincy and Sunil Narine’s bowling action, the KKR has managed to stay in the top half of the points table with ten points in nine games.
Despite their batsmen yet to fire collectively in IPL 2020, KKR has won close games and with Lockie Ferguson in the line-up, KKR is looking much more balanced although they would be sweating over Andre Russell’s fitness. Nevertheless, Sunil Narine can be expected to make a comeback, which will shake the balance for the Knight Riders, who are firmly in the race for a playoff spot.

On the other hand, the RCB has done incredibly well this season with the likes of Chris Morris and Devdutt Padikkal coming out all guns blazing more often than not. While the duo of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli smashing the opposition bowlers consistently with their exquisite shot-making. With six wins in nine games, RCB requires two more wins to qualify for the playoffs.

Wicket-Keepers
Dinesh Karthik 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 RCB, AB de Villiers 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, De Villiers will tend to give more points.
Batsmen
Shubmna Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli, and Devdutt Padikkal have always been the prime contenders for fantasy cricket. Even, Nitish Rana 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 Gurkeerat Mann, and Tom Banton (if he plays).
