Fantasy Matchday 32, RR vs KXIP: Best XI to pick for today's match

Bowlers came to the fore once again as SRH defended yet another below-par score yesterday, this time against RCB. It was a complete team performance in terms of bowling as there was no single stand out bowler for SRH. RCB, meanwhile, have to win their remaining games and hope for favorable results in other games to have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs.

RR face KXIP in the only game of the day today at Jaipur. It is the second game in three days for these two teams who also faced each other on Sunday. Kings XI emerged victorious in that game with KL Rahul taking them home courtesy an unbeaten 84 after Mujeeb had restricted RR to a below par score.

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”).

Today’s best XI for KXIP vs RR:

1. KL Rahul - CP

2. Chris Gayle - CP

3. Sanju Samson

4. Karun Nair

5. Jos Buttler - CP

6. Ben Stokes

7. K Gowtham

8. J Archer - CP

9. Andrew Tye

10. Mujeeb Ur Rahman - CP

11. Ankit Rajpoot

Alternate Options

There are alternate options for the players who have not been listed under the Core category in the above eleven. You can consider these players in your team in place of those who are not core players.

1. Mayank Agarwal

2. Ravichandran Ashwin

3. Shreyas Gopal

4. Marcus Stoinis

5. Ajinkya Rahane

Captain Options

1. Chris Gayle – He got out early in the last game to Archer but he has been in great form this season. If he can see off the threat of Archer, he is likely to play a huge innings again!

2. Jos Buttler – The move to send him up the order has clearly worked. He has scored two fifties in two innings and will look to continue his good form. RR will be hoping he fires since it will give increase their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
