India Capitals (IC) will lock horns with Bhilwara Kings (BHK) in the 1st match of the Legends League Cricket 2023 at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on November 18. India Capitals have been brilliant, with four wins from their last five matches, whereas Bhilwara Kings have had a good run so far as well, with three wins from their last five matches.

Both these teams had squared off against each other in their last encounter, which was the final match of this tournament in the last edition. It was held at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, where Bhilwara Kings won the toss and elected to field. Capitals did not start well, losing their captain in the first over itself. They lost three more wickets quickly and looked in deep trouble. That is when the trio of Ross Taylor, Mitchell Johnson, and Ashley Nurse turned the match around on its head with their splendid knocks. This allowed them to put up a mammoth total of 211 runs on the board.

Kings had a daunting task ahead of them chasing 212, and they needed to start really well to make the chase happen. However, that is not what happened, as they had already lost three wickets in the powerplay. Then, they had a decent partnership for the fourth wicket, which seemed to calm the storm, but the loss was evident at that point. They kept losing wickets and were bundled together for just 107, losing the game by 104 runs. With this win, India Capitals was crowned champions of the last edition, and they would be eager to defend their title this time around.

Gautam Gambhir INC | BAT

Gambhir is an absolute legend and led his team from the front to victory in the last season. He can be one of the best choices available to lead your fantasy team.

9

Shane Watson BHK | BAT

Watson has been one of the best all-rounders in the world to have played this format. He has amassed 8821 runs and 216 wickets in 343 T20 games and can be another fine choice for captaincy roles.

9

Yusuf Pathan BHK | BAT

Yusuf is an explosive batter who can turn the game around in a matter of a few balls. He should definitely find a place in your fantasy team.

10

Kevin Pietersen INC | BAT

Kevin is a swashbuckling batter from England who has played over 200 T20 games in his career. He has scored 5695 runs in these games at a strike rate of 137.

Tillakaratne Dilshan BHK | ALL

Dilshan is an explosive opener who can score plenty of runs top of the order. He can contribute a couple of overs with the ball as well and can be a great budget pick.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8.5

Kirk Edwards

INC | BAT

Kirk does not have too great numbers to back him to get a place in the starting XI. He should not find a place in your team as well.

9.5

Rusty Theron

INC | ALL

Rusty would not be able to find a place in the star-studded team and should be kept out of your fantasy team as well.
