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 DC, Rishabh Pant 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

Shreyas Iyer, Ajinky Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya have always been the prime contenders for fantasy cricket. Even, Shimron Hetmyer also is 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 Prithvi Shaw.
