Fantasy Picks
Captain : R Jadeja
R Jadeja, when it comes to Chennai wicket he is a master, as the conditions will favor his bowling better. With the bat, he may walk a little higher up in the order than the last game.
Vice Captain: R Gaikwad
R Gaikwad is in a magical touch. He has brought his domestic match form to the IPL without any trouble. Since he is a very good spin hitter, he is a right choice to be our vice captain.
Batters: R Gaikwad, D Hooda
D Hooda steps down well and he is known for his batting against spin. CSK has got three spinners in the middle. Don’t miss Hooda.
Wicketkeepers: N Pooran, KL Rahul
KL Rahul is always a great player in the IPL. He never misses to guide his team through his batting.
N Pooran seems to be in good touch in the last game. He walks in after 10 overs and he will get the opportunity to throw his bat on anything that comes in his slot.
All Rounders : M Ali, R Jadeja, B Stokes, M Stoinis, K Pandya.
It’s a game of all rounders here. Among them three are spinners and the other two bats in the middle order.
Bowlers : D Chahar, M Wood
Both D Chahar and M Wood are new ball bowlers and experts in the death overs. Their international experience will play a huge role in this kind of wicket.
