What's the story

Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore will host the Delhi Daredevils in match number 19 of the IPL at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Both teams have been struggling and picking your Dream XI is not going to be an easy task. So instead of fretting over who to pick and whom to ignore, just follow this guide.

Batsmen

Gambhir, Roy, Iyer, Kohli and Mandeep

We have opted for 5 batsman in our Fantasy XI. Gambhir and Jason Roy have been in fine form for Daredevils and will make our XI alongside the young Shreyas Iyer. As far as Bangalore are concerned, Orange Cap holder Virat Kohli is a no-brainer and joining him will be the impressive Mandeep Singh. Quinton de Kock will be our wicket-keeper for this fixture.

All-rounders

Glenn Maxwell and Chris Woakes

We have opted for just two all-rounders for this fixture tonight. High flying Glenn Maxwell has to be one of your all-rounders. The Australian's big-hitting ability makes him a dangerous player. Chris Woakes will be the second all-rounder in our XI. The Englishman has been impressive with the ball and has been a regular in Kohli's RCB.

Bowlers

Rahul Tewatia, Umesh Yadav and Kulwant Khejroliya

Daredevils leg-spinner Rahul Tewatia has bagged 6 wickets in this season so far and should be a good bet on the Chinnaswamy pitch. Umesh Yadav has been on fire and is one of the quickest bowlers in the IPL with 7 wickets to his name. Medium pacer Kulwant Khejroliya will be the third bowler to complete our fantasy XI.

Key players

Captain and the vice captain

Given the form of these two sides, this is going to be a tricky task. However, the safest bet for scoring maximum points would be to make Virat Kohli your captain. The RCB skipper will definitely slam a big knock at the Chinnaswamy stadium. Maxwell is the best option for the vice-captain's role. The all-rounder makes his presence felt in every game he plays.
