Head to Head/Small League
In the small league, the expected playing XI consisting of the best players should be chosen. And as such, assembling the best individuals to ensure maximum quality in all departments will be the right thing to do.
Mega League
Experimental lineups should be put out for this and since both teams could look to shuffle the pack a little.
Quinton De Kock: De Kock showed once again why he’s among the best batsmen in the world with a spectacular innings against KKR. He was the Man of the Match and remained unbeaten at 78 runs which he scored off 44 deliveries. He has been in brilliant form lately and has scored 374 runs at an average of 41.55.
Jasprit Bumrah: After a little inconsistency, Bumrah looks to be at his best once again. He has picked up 17 wickets in this season already and is in the running for the Purple Cap award. Against CSK, he was spectacular in the Powerplay.
Virat Kohli: After his initial, shocking slump, Virat Kohli is back in his element. He has already accumulated over 415 runs this season and has a fantastic average of 59.28.
AB De Villiers: AB De Villiers was in great form in the previous game but he failed to hit the big shots as much as he would’ve liked. He scored 39 runs off 36 deliveries and did not even hit a single six, which uncharacteristic of a De Villiers innings.
Captain: Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya
Virat Kohli would love to get another big knock to take his team close to qualification. Hardik Pandya was unstoppable against Rajasthan Royals and scored his half century in just 20 deliveries!
Vice Captains: AB De Villiers and Jasprit Bumrah
AB De Villiers has been brilliant in the IPL so far this season! Jasprit Bumrah failed to pick up wickets in the last game and would like to get a few victims against Kohli and co in this match.
Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best players between both the teams and would be expected to do well. He is available for just 8.5 credits.
Devdutt Padikkal: Devdutt Padikkal is a quality batsman and can prove to be an important multiplier pick at just 8.5 credits.
Trent Boult: Trent Boult is very impressive in his wicket taking abilities. He is available for just 8.5 credits.
