IPL 2018: Best fantasy XI for KKR vs CSK encounter
Dinesh Karthik's Kolkata Knight Riders will face Chennai Super Kings in their second game of the IPL 11 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Both teams will go into this fixture on the back of victories in their opening games. So who will you pick in your Fantasy XI? It is a tough decision to make as some big names will have to be ignored.
Sunil Narine has to be your captain
Narine's stock has risen rapidly ever since he was promoted as a pinch-hitter. He has scored two fifties in 17 or fewer balls including one in the last game. Watson can be the vice-captain as his all-around abilities make him a top-pick. He has been one of the top performers in the IPL in the past and didn't disappoint in the opener as well.
Lynn, Raina, Rana, Rayudu and Karthik
Big-hitting Chris Lynn might have flopped in the opening game, but you can't keep him silent for long. IPL's top scorer Suresh Raina is a no-brainer in this fantasy XI. Nitish Rana should also be in your team after his brilliant performance against RCB. Veteran batsman Ambati Rayudu also finds a place in this list. Dinesh Karthik's form puts him ahead of Dhoni.
Bravo, Johnson, Vinay Kumar and Kuldeep
Both squads boast some top all-rounders and hence we have picked only 3 bowlers. Kuldeep Yadav is one of the best spinners available and hence he has to make the XI. Australian Mitchell Johnson and Vinay Kumar should be the other pacers to make your team sheet. Dwayne Bravo should complete this fantasy XI. He will be the third all-rounder of this team.
