Every fantasy player loves bargain buys! They fetch you loads of points and will cost a few bucks thus enabling you to strengthen a few areas with some big money players. With all set to field plenty of young players against Zimbabwe, we do have a few who are certain to give you great returns for a less price.

KL Rahul

After breaking into the Indian Test side, Rahul has now finally made it to the limited overs squad on the back of some impressive performances in this year’s IPL breaking the myth that he could only be suited for the longer format. Rahul stunned everyone by scoring almost 400 runs for the Royal Challengers Bangalore with an impressive strike rate of 146.49 and he could likely get a chance to bat in the top three which would present him an ideal opportunity to score big.

He is costing just 4000 rupees in this fantasy and that should be more than enough for the user to pick him in the squad. But you cannot pick him and MS Dhoni in the same team since they are both designated as wicket-keepers but the Indian skipper is bound to cost you big and it would be advisable to go ahead with Rahul considering he would face many deliveries to make a huge impact.

What a huge test this could turn out to be for Karun Nair. He is all set to make his international debut on this tour and he has been waiting in the wings for a while with a string of impressive performances in the domestic circuit. He also made use of the opportunities provided by Delhi Daredevils and scored some vital runs for them in this year’s IPL.

He made 357 runs at a strike rate of 120 and his range of shots were very impressive. He could get to bat at No. 3 or No. 4 and with India still having issues in their middle order, this tour could give the selectors a big headache when they sit down to pick the Indian squad for their next ODI assignment if Nair delivers. He is going to cost only 6000 rupees and hence can be picked without any second thoughts.

Vusi Sibanda

Not many Zimbabwe players would be featuring in these lists since they are firmly the underdogs despite the fact that India are playing a second string side and despite the fact that the Zimbabweans are playing at their home. But someone like Vusi Sibanda can throw in a surprise or two in this ODI series.

He scored a half-century in the World T20 earlier this year against Hong Kong which consisted of some delightful strokes. If he can pace his innings to perfection against an inexperienced bowling attack, he can make it count and fetch you plenty of points. Don’t let his modest record deter you from picking him. He costs just 5500 rupees and the user will obviously have to pick a couple of Zimbabwean players in the fantasy. Give players who have the best chance of creating an upset.

Jayant Yadav

Fans wouldn’t have seen a lot of Jayant Yadav with the bat but is very useful lower down the order apart from his off-spinners. The 26-year-old will look to establish himself as Ravichandran Ashwin’s backup but at the same time will want to pick more wickets than he did in the IPL for the Delhi Daredevils.

He was impressive for Rest of India against Mumbai in the Irani Cup tie where he picked up 8 wickets in the game and now will have his sights set on the Zimbabwean batsmen. At 4500 rupees he could prove to be one of the best bargain buys of the season.

Barinder Sran

After having spent a lot of time with senior pro Ashish Nehra and experienced campaigner Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Barinder will be feeling a lot lighter than he did during his debut against Australia earlier this year. He would have certainly improved from his previous outing and will be looking to cement his spot in the limited overs side.

Sran also has got some variations to make use of in the death overs which could help him get plenty of wickets apart from his strength of swinging the new ball. He will cost your fantasy side only 5000 rupees and that would make it easier for you to buy someone big from some other department.
