Fantasy Picks for the RCB vs GT Match
Captain: Faf du Plessis
Faf’s stats in Chinnaswamy has been terrific. Throughout this tournament, his consistency has been astonishing. And we could definitely hope for a match winning innings from him when the team needs it the most.
Vice Captain : Shubman Gill
Gill’s game right now is way ahead than his competitors. The ease he is feeling in making shots makes him so dangerous for any bowler.
Batsmen : Kohli, Faf, Miller, Gill, Sudharsan
It’s Chinnaswamy Stadium and it would be a crime if you don’t pick a team with five top batters from both the teams. These are the prime batters and you can’t ask for better.
Wicketkeeper : Saha
Again, an opening batter who will have more chances to play a lot of balls. And also, Saha’s stats in important games is exciting to see.
All rounders : Maxwell, Hardik, Hasaranga
As of now, Maxwell and Hasaranga would have understood the nooks and corners of the Bengaluru stadium. They are more comfortable here and it would reflect in their games in this venue.
Hardik Pandya loves playing spin and RCB is most relied on their spin department at present. So Hardik can be more prolific than what we expect.
Bowlers : M Siraj, Rashid
Two bowlers who can be economical and also can be wicket takers in both teams are Siraj and Rashid. If they do what they usually do, it would be adding more value for our team.
