CB Expert Advice

·         Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders, who have roped in some utility cricketers this season, look set to begin their Indian Premier League season in style when they host Delhi Daredevils in an encounter at the Eden Gardens here on Sunday. The Knights have somewhat stuck to the same squad which helped them lift the trophy in 2012 and 2014 but have managed to bring in the likes of all-rounders Colin Munro, Jason Holder and John Hastings. Delhi too have made some changes to their team from last year, adding England batsman Sam Billings and West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite.

·          Best economical pick – Manish Pandey is a naturally gifted batsman who plays in the top order position. He an aggressive right handed Batsman. He has been a constant performer for KKR. His salary is just 9. In this salary he can give you minimum 100 point so he might be a good choice for your team.

·        Top captains & vice captains – The Wicket keeper batsman of South Africa Quinton de Kock is in superb form recent times. Scored a loads of runs in the recently concluded World T20. He can give you points with his Wicket keeping also. The star West Indian All-Rounder Andre Russell is in superb form also. He can give you points with his bowling as well as batting also.

·        Smart pick – The new T20 star of West Indies Carlos Brathwaite has been in superb touch in recent times. Won the WT20 single handedly for West Indies with his batting. He scores runs with a strike rate of over 150 which will give you more bonous points.

·        Be careful – The KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir holds the record of most ducks in IPL history and also holds the record of most fifties also. He is an inconsistent customer in this game. So before choosing him in your team be careful.

My XI – Quinton de Kock (Captain), A Russell ( Vice-Captain), Manish Pandey, Carlos Brathwaite, Yousuf Pathan, Amit Mishra, Zaheer Khan, Imran Tahir, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Mayank Agarwal
