Dream11 Fantasy Tips
Raiders: Both the top two raiders in terms of raid points this season will be featuring in this game, and are undoubtedly major sources of a whole lot of points. While they do account for a lot of the budget, their contribution to the overall picture makes them must-haves in this side.
The other raider picked is Sumit Singh, who was in fine form in the Bulls' previous encounter against UP. With form on his side, he could be expected to play the role of support raider yet again.
All-rounders: While picking Ankit could be a confusing choice, he could be a game-changer with his tackles, even if he does start from the bench. For the other choice, Vijay is a good option to pick, considering that the Delhi all-rounder has chipped in with some vital points in both departments.
Defenders: Vishal Mane has 5 points from two games against the Bulls this season and will be crucial in stopping the raiding prowess of Pawan Sehrawat, while along with him, Anil Kumar's experience from the other cover position could also prove to have a vital say on the outcome of the game.
