Fantasy Picks for the RCB vs CSK Match
Captain: Moeen
With three left handers in the middle order of KKR, Moeen is going to be vital for CSK. Also with the bat, he walks in the middle which is again a serious role.
Vice Captain : Pathirana
The young Malinga type bowler has impressed a lot with his variation of pace along with his action. He can be the trump card for CSK in this game.
Batsmen : Ruturaj, Dube, Venkatesh, Rinku
Ruturaj has created an impact with the start he used to give throughout this tournament. Since it’s chennai, we hope the magic continues.
All three left handers Dube, Venkatesh and Rinku bats in the middle and in a serious form now. So it is safe to pick them.
Wicketkeepers: D Conway
Conway is definitely the man in form who is unstoppable at this point of the tournament. As he plays spin effectively he can’t be avoided for this game.
All rounders : Jadeja, Moeen Ali, Narine
Both the spinners Jadeja and Narine are the most effective bowlers on this wicket. It is better not to leave them back at chennai.
Bowlers : Theekshana, Varun, Pathirana
Again the mystery spinners who are more in a rhythm are Theekshana and Varun. When things go right, they can be the match winners for their side.
