The excitement is at its peak as the RCB team will play their home game at Chinnaswamy stadium after three long years. What’s more fascinating is the team that RCB is up against this time. Mumbai Indians. The five-time champions with a star-studded lineup. Nothing gets bigger than this for cricket folklore.

Fantasy Picks for the RCB vs MI game.
Captain : Faf Du Plessis
Faf is someone who can be highly productive once he comes acrossbthe powerplay overs. Big innings player and he has done it a lot of time.
Vice Captain : Suryakumar Yadav
SKY hasn’t been in a good touch in the last three international games. So it is high time for the demon inside him to wakeup. He can’t be quite for a long time and he will definitely show up with a bang in this opening game.
Batsmen : Faf Du Plessis, V Kohli, S Yadav, T Varma, T David.
Based in the Banglore wicket, we have gone with five batters. Two RCB top order batters and the middle order batters S Yadav, T David and T Varma of MI, who will get optine opportunity in the middle.
Wicketkeepers : Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan is the obvious option for the WK since he opens the batting for MI and we all know what he is capable of.
All rounders : G Maxwell, C Green
All rounders have the huge roles in these kind of wickets that favors batting. A little help with the ball will make a great difference for their side. In that sense, G Maxwell and C Green are perfect pick for this game.
Bowlers: H Patel, M Siraj, J Archer
All three bowlers are the strike bowlers of their respective teams. You cannot pick above them for their opening game of the season.
