Fantasy Matchday 21 - DD vs KKR: Best XI to pick for today's match

Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Kings XI Punjab by 13 runs to move ahead of Punjab to the second spot in the table, and just below Chennai Super Kings on NRR, who have a game in hand.

It was the second consecutive match where SRH managed to bowl out the opposition while defending a below par score and teams will now be wary of chasing the game against them. KXIP had their run of four consecutive victories stopped yesterday by SRH, but they have one week to regroup themselves and bounce back before their next game.

DD take on KKR at the Kotla today. Gautam Gambhir has stepped down from captaincy following a poor run of results where Delhi managed to win only one out of their six games. Shreyas Iyer will be taking over as captain and he will have a tough task on hand to pick this team and string together a run of wins to have a chance of making it to the play-offs.

It looks like a distant dream but now teams have done it in the past and DD definitely have the personnel to turn things around. DD are expected to make a lot of changes for today’s game. KKR looks like they have found their best combination and is likely to stick to the same eleven that played their last game.

Here’s our suggestion for the playing xi in today’s game (5 core players who are a must have for today’s game are marked as “CP”).

Captain Options

#1 Sunil Narine – He took 3-18 in the reverse fixture earlier in IPL 2018 and is likely to continue to open the batting as well, for KKR. He has not fired with the bat in the last few games and so this might be the game where he will come good with the bat too.

#2 Rishabh Pant – He has been very consistent in this IPL and the last match was the only game this IPL where he scored below 50. He has the capability to play the spinners and fast bowlers well and will be a good differential option as captain.
