Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: Quinton de Kock has been in good form for MI and RSA over the past few months and should be picked ahead of Sunrisers keeper, Jonny Bairstow who is due a failure after scoring in excess of 200 runs so far in the IPL.
Batsmen: Rohit Sharma and David Warner are two of the best batsmen in the shortest format and are must-have picks in the side with the in-form, Suryakumar Yadav also amongst the probables. Manish Pandey hasn't justified his lofty price tag but could be picked on a surface more suitable for batting.
All-rounders: The Pandya brothers are obvious candidates to have in the side with both of them in very good form while one of Mohammad Nabi and Vijay Shankar should do the trick as the third all-rounder in the fantasy side.
Bowlers: Rashid Khan and Jasprit Bumrah are considered to be amongst the best bowlers in the format and are invaluable picks to the fantasy team. The likes of Siddarth Kaul and Rahul Chahar are great options to go along with the aforementioned duo.
Captain: Rohit Sharma and David Warner are the obvious choices for captaincy on a flat surface while Krunal Pandya has also shown glimpses of what he is capable of in the first few rounds of IPL 2019. He is also a good option to choose as captain with his record at the stadium also taken into consideration.
