Fantasy Picks for the LSG vs DC (Match 3) 

Captain : M Marsh

Whenever M Marsh walks into bat in his last few games, he has been making a huge contribution for his side. His magical run with the bat will also include this opening game of his IPL franchise.

Vice captain/WicketKeeper : KL Rahul

KL Rahul has just come out of his downfall in international cricket. With IPL has been his go to place for fetching his magical touch, he will be keen to make use of every IPL game. He is a definite pick for this opening game.

Batsmen: D Warner, D Hooda, P Shah

D Warner as a skipper is completely a different batter. He takes the responsibility with utmost care. 

P Shah with his blistering batting can even go over the moon once things get clicked for him. 

D Hooda, as a spin power hitter will play a huge role in the middle overs.

All rounders: M Marsh, M Stoinis, A Patel, K Mayers

M Stoinis and A Patel are both precious. Most importantly, they both are in great touch with both the bat and the ball. Never miss them in their prime time. 

With the kind of form K Mayers is in right now, this Indian venue can aid him to showcase his ability in IPL.

Bowlers: A Khan, R Bishnoi, K Yadav

Both the wrist spinners are entirely different from each other and they have totally different roles for their sides but they have one thing in common is that they add more value even in tough situations. 

The promising A Khan is having a great year with the ball in domestic matches. He will be waiting for this big stage.
