Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the RR vs RCB clash
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal was unstoppable against MI in the previous game. He scored an unbeaten 77 off 32 balls and won the Man of the Match award.
Jaiswal has the Orange Cap, and he is the backbone of RR‘s batting lineup. His consistency is the reason that RR are at the top of the points table. So, he is a must for your Dream11 team.
2. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
From a 15-ball fifty against CSK, an 18-ball 31 against GT, and a 14-ball 39 against MI, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has shown his full range in three innings. He hammered Jasprit Burmah for two sixes in one over, which itself is a big feat for a 15-year-old.
He is just superb and needs 20 balls to shift the dynamic of the games. His fearless approach is the reason to have him in your fantasy team.
3. Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is all about consistency at its highest. He is someone you can even pick as a captain of your Dream11 team. Irrespective of the team, pitch, or situation, he gives you an assurance to score runs.
He can be a great player to feature in your fantasy team and someone who has always been among the top players to pick from in fantasy sports.
4. Devdutt Padikkal
Devdutt Padikkal has slammed two consecutive half-centuries in two games. He has shown that he can be destructive and consistent at the same time. The left-hander has made some adjustments to his game and is playing shots all around the ground.
He will be up against his former side and will have a point to prove. So, we might see him delivering another important knock here.
5. Rajat Patidar
Rajat Patidar can be an underrated pick for your team. The RCB captain has played some brilliant cameos, including a 19-ball 48 in the last game. RR rely on their spinners in the middle overs, and Rajat can kill the spin.
His ability to hit sixes against spinners and his bat flow make him a difficult batter to bowl to. Hence, he is an ideal choice for a Dream11 team.
