IPL Fantasy 2019, Match 25, RR vs CSK: Who would be the X-Factor in today's game?
Rajasthan Royals play Chennai Super Kings in front of their home crowd at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on April 11th in IPL 2019. This will be a crucial game to win for Rajasthan as their second from the bottom in the IPL Points Table and have only one win under their belt. Luck hasn't been on their side and they will look to beat CSK convincingly in order to gain some confidence.
The pitch will be really slow and will assist the spinners. MS Dhoni will be happy to play against RR in Jaipur as it pretty much resembles their home ground. Their batsmen have played second fiddle this season as their bowlers have won them most of the games. They will, however, have to be wary of Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Steve Smith who are great players of spin and even if one of them get a big score, CSK will be put under pressure.
This match offers a lot of action in terms of runs & wickets and will be a match for the IPL Fantasy players. On that note, let's take a look at who the Fantasy X-Factor will be this match.
RR's batting has been decent this season but has primarily revolved around Jos Buttler, who is our Fantasy X-Factor for the match. Buttler has been good this season and has scored 176 runs in 5 matches.
He is a great player of spin and if he settles down, he can really wear the CSK bowlers out with his big-hitting. He hasn't been as good as he was last season during the power play overs but with CSK who have only one pace bowler to open with the new ball, Buttler can take Deepak Chahar on and then target the spinners.
He has a lot of opportunity of scoring runs this match and will be a great fantasy option.
