IPL 2018: Top Fantasy League batting picks in each of the 8 Franchises

Kings XI Punjab: Chris Gayle & Aaron Finch (KXIP)

Gayle will be

the darkhorse

in this year's IPL

Kings XI Punjab will play their home matches on the flat wickets of Mohali and Indore. The side is filled with star batsmen and it is better to pick batsmen from the side in your fantasy teams.

Chris Gayle will not be an option which many would go for this time due to his 2017 performance but he has the ability to get you maximum points on conditions which suit his batting. Mohali and Indore will suit his batting and Finch's absence for the first two games make Gayle a certainty in the playing XI.

Aaron Finch is more of a safe bet in a fantasy team. He is the only player who is assured of a place in the top 3 of the Kings XI batting line-up and he can be expected to steadily accumulate runs and earn points in the fantasy league.
