IPL Fantasy League 2016 Tips: KKR vs SRH & DD vs RCB
· Like the previous season, KKR once again seems to have lost the plot. They needed to win one out of two games last year but they failed to do so. This time too the two-time champions had to win one out of three and they have lost two on the trot. The men-in-purple presently have 7 wins from 13 outings. Sunrisers who are sitting pretty on the top half of the table have already pocketed eight matches and will be in the playoffs even if they lose to KKR. After 13 matches, RCB are at the third spot with 14 points, while Delhi have as many points but are placed sixth in the table, lagging behind RCB only in net run-rate. Stage is set for a virtual knockout as a rampaging Royal Challengers Bangalore, led by inspirational skipper Virat Kohli, lock horns with an inconsistent Delhi Daredevils in their final IPL Twenty20 cricket match.
· Best economical pick – The cutter master Mustafizur Rahman is one of the best debutants of this season. He has taken 13 wickets in 13 matches with an economy rate of 6.61 and an average of 29 in this season.
· Top captains & vice captains – With a hat-trick of wins, Bangalore have been on a roll with skipper Virat Kohli enjoying one of the best phases of his career as he has four centuries under his belt. He is the only batsman to score more than 800 runs in a single edition and has 865 runs from 13 matches thus far. His teammate AB de Villiers also dished out some sizzling batting display as RCB's much vaunted batting line-up gave nightmares to their opposition by rattling up three of the four 200-plus totals this season.
· Smart pick – Delhi's batting has revolved much around Quinton de Kock, who has been the most consistent batsman for them. He has scored 385 runs with an impressive strike of 140 in this season. De kock also scored the first century of this season.
· Be careful – For Delhi, Carlos Brathwaite has not fired consistently in this season. He has scored just 62 runs in 7 matches in this season. But he is performing well in bowling department. You can take risk by picking him in your squad.
My XI – Virat Kohli (Captain), AB de Villiers (Vice-Captain), M Rahman, Quinton de Kock, B Kumar, Y Chahal, Karun Nair, Shane Watson, Lokesh Rahul, Manish Pandey, Sachin Baby
