What's the story
So cricket fans are you ready to pick your fantasy XI for the Kolkata Knight Riders against Royal Challengers Bengaluru encounter? In this double-header day, maximum points are in store. Some of you must be wondering how to select the best XI for this Kohli vs DK battle. Here is our combined playing XI to help you select the best combination.
The ideal choice
Kohli an easy choice for the captaincy
When you have Virat Kohli in the set-up, one should not worry on who to select the skipper. At number 3, Kohli brings that aura and gluttony of runs under his belt, which make him the perfect choice. KKR's Chris Lynn and Robin Uthappa are perfect candidates to open the innings and could be selected. Both players can give you a lot of points.
Big options
AB, Karthik and two star-studded all-rounders
AB de Villiers and Dinesh Karthik are the best options in the middle-order. ABD's fielding ability gives him a plus point, as Karthik being the wicket-keeper batsman solves many issues. In terms of all-rounders, it's a simple decision. Andre Russell can be made vice-captain and can bat at number 6. Chris Woakes would follow suit. Both are power-hitters, wicket-takers and excellent fielders.
Firepower
One can go heavy on spin
With India's both wrist spinners available, why wouldn't you pick them? Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are genuine choices and have been excellent for India in the recent past. To add more firepower you can select Washington Sundar. The youngster excelled in Nidahas Trophy and is likely to play. Umesh Yadav can be roped in as the lone pacer in this fantasy XI.
