IPL Fantasy Matchday 23: Best XI to pick for today's matches
Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets yesterday to stay alive in the competition thanks largely to a wonderful fifty by Rohit while chasing a slightly below par target of 170. CSK have still managed to stay on top of the table level on level points with SRH and Kings XI but with better NRR.
Which fantasy game are you playing this year? StarPick is the new one on the block, and it has a lot of exciting features along with millions in prize money. You can create your StarPick team here.
It is a doubleheader today (Yay!) as RR take on SRH today in the first game and KKR take on RCB later in the evening. A win would put RR ahead of KKR in the fourth place, whereas a win for SRH will mean that they will finish the day on top of the table. RR are unlike to make any changes from the last game but SRH might have Bhuvaneshwar Kumar back who trained with the team yesterday. KKR are unlikely to make any changes and RCB might go for a lot of changes since the combinations haven’t been working for them.
Here’s our suggestion for the playing xi in today’s games (5 core players who are a must have for today’s game are marked as “CP”).
Today’s Best Eleven for Starpick for RR vs SRH:
1. Kane Williamson (10.8 M- 201 Points)- CP
2. Shikhar Dhawan (8.8 M- 118 Points)
3. Sanju Samson (10.8 M- 158.5 Points )-CP
4. Shakib Al Hasan (10.2 M- 174 Points)- CP
5. Wriddhiman Saha (8.6 M – 77.5 Points)
6. Rahul Tripathi (7.9 M- 54.5 Points)
7. K Gowtham (7.1 M- 80 Points)-CP
8. Jofra Archer (8.4 M- 37.5 Points)-CP
9. Rashid Khan (9.5 M- 137 Points)- CP
10. Siddharth Kaul (7.9 M- 111 Points)
11. Jaydev Unadkat (9.8 M- 53 Points)
Alternative Options:
There are alternative options for the players who have not been listed under the Core players in the above eleven. You can consider these players on your team but ensure that you are able to accommodate them in your available budget!
1. Manish Pandey (9.4 M- 111 Points)
2. Ajinkya Rahane (10.4 M -111 Points)
3. Shreyas Gopal (8.2 M- 76 Points)
4. Yusuf Pathan (9.5 M- 111 Points)
5. Ben Stokes (10.9 M- 112 Points)
Captain Options:
1. Rashid Khan – He has been in excellent form helping SRH defend low totals in successive games. He will again be the key for SRH in today’s game.
2. Sanju Samson – He has been in good form but has not scored big in the last two games. This might be the game where he gets another big score and is a very good differential option as not many will have him as captain against SRH.
Today’s Best Eleven for Starpick for RCB Vs KKR:
1. Sunil Narine (9.2 M- 180.5 Points)- CP
2. Virat Kohli (11.2 M- 172.5 Points)- CP
3. AB De Villiers (11.6 M- 211 Points )-CP
4. Nitish Rana (9.4 M- 168.5 Points)
5. Dinesh Karthik (9.5 M- 163 Points)- CP
6. Shubman Gill (7.5 M -48 Points)
7. Andre Russell (8.9 M – 182.5 points)-CP
8. Shivam Mavi (7.1 M – 50.5 Points)
9. Piyush Chawla (8.2 M – 77 Points)
10. YS Chahal (9.8 M – 83 Points)
11. K Khejroliya (7.3M – 23 Points)
Alternative Options:
There are alternative options for the players who have not been listed under the Core players in the above eleven. You can consider these players on your team but ensure that you are able to accommodate them in your available budget!
1. Umesh Yadav (10.2 M- 110.5 Points)
2. Kuldeep Yadav (8.9 M -86 Points)
3. Quinton de Kock (10.9M – 147.5 Points)
4. Chris Lynn (9.9M – 126.5 Points)
5. Mandeep Singh (10.1M – 115.5 Points)
Captain Options:
1. Sunil Narine – He is opening the batting for KKR and is usually bowling his quota of overs. The pitch helped the spinners in the last game and so he will be a very good option against RCB who are low on confidence.
2. AB de Villiers – On his day, he can take the game away from anyone else. He is in supreme form and smashed 68 against CSK in the last game. A worthy contender for your captain’s slot.
