IPL Fantasy Matchday 35, RR Vs CSK- Best XI to pick for today's match

Sunrisers Hyderabad became the first team to qualify for the playoffs with a convincing win over Delhi Daredevils yesterday. Rishabh Pant played one of the best innings of his life and broke the record of the highest T20 score by an Indian as he was unbeaten on 128. But the total of 188 proved too less for SRH as they won comfortably by 9 wickets with an over to spare, thanks to some delightful batting by Dhawan and Williamson. DD will not be able to qualify for the playoffs but will look to salvage some pride in their remaining games.

RR take on CSK today at Jaipur and they know that they have to win all their remaining games to have a chance. They will look to consolidate on their performance vs KXIP where they defended a score of 158. The pitch has the tendency to slow down after initial few overs so both the teams will look to go after the bowling in PP. Buttler has been in impressive form after he started to open the batting for RR. CSK will have Deepak Chahar back for today’s match while RR are likely to continue with the same team.

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

Today’s Best Eleven for RR Vs CSK

1. Shane Watson-CP

2. Ambati Rayudu-CP

3. Jos Buttler-CP

4. Sanju Samson

5. Suresh Raina

6. MS Dhoni

7. Ben Stokes-CP

8. Jofra Archer-CP

9. Ravindra Jadeja

10. K Gowtham

11. Harbhajan Singh

Alternate Options

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

1. Ajinkya Rahane

2. Ish Sodhi

3. Ben Stokes

4. Dwayne Bravo

5. Lungi Ngidi

Captain Options

1. Jos Buttler – He was the man of the match in the last game and has notched up three consecutive fifties. CSK’s bowling haven’t been great this tournament and he will be an excellent choice as captain today.

2. Ambati Rayudu – He has arguably been CSK’s best batsman and has been rightly rewarded with a call-up to the Indian team. The pitch at Jaipur is slow and Rayudu has the capability to score big on these type of wickets too.
