Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab: The winning Dream XI
What's the story
Two of the most in-form teams of 2018 IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kings XI Punjab will lock horns at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad tonight. Both sides have a plethora of talent and it would be difficult to pick the winning Fantasy XI. So who should you pick and who should be ignored, find out in this guide.
Batsmen
Manish Pandey, Williamson, Gayle and Nair
We have opted for a four-man batting line up for this fixture. Manish Pandey and Kane Williamson will be the two Sunrisers batsmen in the XI. Williamson has been a class act throughout the season and should get you points. Chris Gayle and Karun Nair will be the Kings XI batsmen. In-form KL Rahul will be our wicket-keeper for this match.
All-rounders
Shakib Al Hasan and Ravichandran Ashwin
If you want a quality spinner and a batsmen in your line up, just opt for Shakib Al Hasan. The Bangladesh veteran has been one of the top performing stars in 2018 IPL. Joining him will be Kings XI captain Ravichandran Ashwin. The off spinner was impressive in his last game and we are hoping he will continue to do the same tonight.
Bowlers
Siddarth Kaul, Rashid Khan, Andrew Tye and Mujeeb Zardan
The following four bowlers will complete this Fantasy XI. Afghan spinners Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be the two leg-spinners in our team. Leg spinners have been quite successful in this edition and we are hopeful that this trend would continue. Andrew Tye and Siddarth Kaul will be the two pace bowlers.
Key players
Captain and vice captain
KL Rahul is probably the most in-form cricketer right now and he would be the ideal fit to be your captain. While you can opt to make Chris Gayle your captain, our suggestion would be otherwise as he was left out of the XI in the previous fixture due to a niggle. Kane Williamson will be our vice-captain for this fixture.
