Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals: Fantasy XI
What's the story
The Delhi Daredevils will welcome the Rajasthan Royals to the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in New Delhi. The Daredevils are languishing at the bottom of the table and will have to win every match from now on to make it to the playoffs. Picking a fantasy XI could be a task considering the poor form of these two sides, so follow this guide.
Batsmen
Munro, Iyer, Shaw, Rahane and Samson
We have opted to go for a five-man batting line up considering the options available for this fixture. Delhi Daredevils' Colin Munro, Shreyas Iyer and Prithvi Shaw alongside Rajasthan Royals' duo Sanju Samson and Ajinkya Rahane will be the five specialized batsmen. Rishabh Pant, who has been impressive this season, will be our wicketkeeper.
All-rounders
Glenn Maxwell and Ben Stokes
Delhi's Glenn Maxwell will be one of the all-rounders in this XI. The Australian's big hitting ability, his dynamic athleticism on the field and the ability to bowl a couple of overs, make him a crucial member of the Daredevils XI. Ben Stokes, who has had a decent season so far, will be the other all-rounder in this fantasy XI.
Bowlers
Liam Plunkett, Shreyas Gopal and Ish Sodhi
A three bowler line-up will complete this fantasy XI. Liam Plunkett has been one of the top performing bowlers for the Delhi Daredevils since his debut this season. Shreyas Gopal and Ish Sodhi will be the other two bowlers in this XI. Considering the fixture is being played at the Feroz Shah Kotla, spinners are likely to have a considerable say.
Key players
Captain and vice-captain
Shreyas Iyer, who has upped the ante ever since taking over the leadership responsibilities from Gautam Gambhir, will be our captain for this XI. The youngster looks in good form and has been trying to lead by example. Rajasthan Royals' Sanju Samson has been sending bowlers on a leather hunt this season. He will be our vice-captain.
