IPL Fantasy League 2016 Tips: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders & Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Lions

·         Eyeing their first win of the season, Sunrisers Hyderabad would be looking to put up an improved show in their home ground where they lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders, who would also be keen to get back to winning ways in the Indian Premier League. Their bid for a third title back on track after a shock defeat in the opening game, defending champions Mumbai Indians would be keen to carry on the winning momentum when they face table toppers Gujarat Lions, who have won both their matches so far, in an IPL 2016 game.

·         Best economical pick – Manish Pandey is a naturally gifted batsman who plays in the top order position. He is an aggressive right handed batsman. Scored 18 runs against Delhi Daredevils. Then played a blistering knock of 52 runs in just 29 balls against MI. His salary is just 9 and he can give you minimum 100 points.

·        Top captains & vice captains – The opening batsman of Gujarat Lions Aaron Finch is in superb form in IPL so far. He is the orange Cap holder at the moment. He scored back to back fifties in the first 2 matches where he got MOM awards also. The West Indian All-Rounder Champion DJ Bravo is the purple cap holder at present in IPL. He can score some runs at down the order. So pick him as your vice-captain for sure.

·         Smart pick – Pravin Tambe is a cricketer who has defied his age to play top level cricket. He had not even played a top-level game for a first-class side when he was picked from obscurity at the age of 41, by Rajasthan Royals for IPL 2013. He is a leg-spinner and a useful middle-order batsman. Took 2 crucial wickets against RPS in his first match in this season.

·        Be careful – Hardik Pandya can be very expensive with bowling at any day. And may not get chance to bat in a match. What if I tell you Pandya has only 2 wickets of 11 IPL matches he played? So before picking him in your team be careful.

My XI – Aaron Finch (Captain), DJ Bravo (Vice-Captain), Manish Pandey, Pravin Tambe, Parthiv Patel, Jaaprit Bumrah, Mustafizur Rahman, David Warner, Ravindra Jadeja, B McCullum, Colin Munro
