Fantasy Picks for the MI vs RCB Match
Captain : Suryakumar
Suryakumar on his home conditions and with a kind of form he is in currently, makes him the deadliest thing that RCB bowlers are going to face.
Vice captain : Tilak Varma
Tilak Varma will be more comfortable with this pitch and RCB’s bowling line up. His intention is to finish games and he has been improving it with healthy confidence.
Batsmen : S Yadav, T Varma,Faf, Kohli, Wadhera
Wadhera, the new find of MI might get an edge with the Mumbai conditions.
Faf and Virat don’t need any explanation as they both are making 100 runs opening partnership in this tournament.
Wicket keepers : Kishan
Ishan Kishan’s aggressive start will be a trouble for RCB bowlers.
All-rounders : Hasaranga, C Green, Maxwell
Hasaranga with the ball and Maxi with the bat are the only two trustable players at present for RCB other than Virat and Faf.
Green will make it big on any day with his aggression. Also with the ball he is able to make an impact.
Bowlers : Hazlewood, Madhwal
Madhwal’s death over bowling is impressive. So it might bring him wickets.
Hazlewood needs to take on the responsibility as RCB is suffering in defending the bigger total.
