Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-
Wicket-Keepers
Quinton de Kock 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, De Kock seems the better pick.
Batsmen
Steve Smith, Robin Uthappa, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav have always been the prime contenders for 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 Saurabh Tiwary, and Yashaswi Jaiswal (if he plays).
