Fantasy Matchday 12, RR vs KKR: 5 Best Value for Money and Uncapped Players
MI registered their first win of IPL 2018 against RCB yesterday and it was quite comprehensive too. It was the fourth consecutive match where team batting first has won the tie. Will that run be stopped in today’s game between RR and KKR? RR have won their last nine games at Jaipur but KKR will be confident after their thrashing of DD on Monday.
Archer is fit and is likely to come in for RR. Will that mean Laughlin has to sit out? He has bowled well in the last two games and will be tough to leave him out. Will Klassen get a game or will RR provide one more opportunity for Short? KKR are unlikely to make any changes to their eleven for this game.

Here are some of our suggestions for you while picking your squad for today’s game.
5 Best Value for Money players:
1. Jos Buttler (3.7 M) – He must be your first pick for today and an absolute steal at that price. He can decimate attacks on his day and is due to fire for RR in this IPL.
2. Sanju Samson (7.7 M) – He had the orange cap until Kohli overtook him yesterday. He is in terrific form and is the mainstay of RR’s batting lineup.
3. Andre Russell (10.8 M) – His onslaught against DD ensured that KKR reached 200 in the last game. A must-have for all KKR matches.
4. Dinesh Karthik (4.6 M) – He had a good cameo in the last game. He is not having opportunities to play a lot of balls but he doesn’t need many with the form he is in. Today might be the day where he gets to score big. A safe hands behind the wicket which could potentially bring you points.
5. Jofra Archer (8.3 M) – A lot have been said about how good he is but we have not got a chance to witness that in IPL 2018 yet. He is fit for today’s game and is likely to slot into the eleven straightaway.
5 Best Uncapped Players:
1. RA Tripathi (7.8 M) – He has batted in the middle order in the first few games but with Short not performing, he might get to open vs KKR.
2. K Gowtham (5.8 M) – He did not get a chance to bat in the last game but his early wicket of Mccullum was crucial as Brendan can take the game away from you quickly.
3. Shreyas Gopal (6.7 M) – He was excellent against RCB as he and Gowtham combined to stifle RCB’s middle order. He gave away only 22 in his 4 overs picking up two wickets in a game where more than 400 runs were scored!
4. Shivam Mavi (8.1 M) – He bowled very well in the last game vs DD and picked up his first wicket in the IPL. He is young, bowls fast and Jaipur pitch is likely to aid him too.
5. Nitish Rana (9.1 M) – He was the man of the match in the last game against DD and has slotted well in the KKR middle order. He is in good touch and is a reliable pick for today’s game.
