With quality players in both the sides picking your fantasy XI could be a task, so follow our guide and win maximum points.
Key picks
Captain and vice-captain
KL Rahul has been in mind-blowing form. The Karnataka opener scored a 14 ball fifty in the opening game and then scored a 30 ball 47 in the second game. Going by his blistering form, he is our captain. Chennai Super Kings' all-rounder Shane Watson's has impressed us with his all-round abilities and will be our vice-captain.
Batsmen
Mayank Agarwal, Finch, Karun Nair and Rayudu
We have opted to go for four batsmen in our line-up. Mayank Agarwal is yet to translate his Ranji form into the IPL and he showed some glimpses of it against RCB. Finch is one of the big hitters of T20 cricket and should come good against Chennai. KXIP's Karun Nair and CSK's Ambati Rayudu will be the other batsmen in our Dream XI.
All-rounders
Marcus Stoinis, Dywane Bravo and Shane Watson
Dwayne Bravo has been a cog in the wheel for CSK over the years. The all-rounder is one of the best bowlers in the death overs and has the ability to bag wickets. Shane Watson will be the other all-rounder partnering Bravo. Kings XI have a plethora of talent but Marcus Stoinis has established himself as the proper all-rounder in their XI.
Bowlers
Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Andrew Tye and Bhajji
Afghan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman has made a mark on all of us with his breathtaking skills. The 17-year-old has outfoxed some of the best batsmen in the IPL so far. Tye has bagged 1 wicket in the two games so far but he is a genuine wicket taker. The experienced Harbhajan Singh will complete our fantasy XI.
