Hot picks

Jos Buttler

After being ‘mankaded’ by Ravichandran Ashwin, Jos Buttler’s bat has not done much talking. But expect him to come good against a submissive Bangalore bowling line-up. Most of the Bangalore bowlers are out of form, and Buttler would be looking to make the most of this opportunity.

Virat Kohli

Not in the best of form, Virat Kohli was seen in tears after his side’s third successive defeat this season. A frustrated Kohli, who is hungry for wins, will do all he can to take Bangalore home in this game.

Jofra Archer

While the all-rounder has not performed to the best of his capabilities so far, you cannot rule him out of your playing Fantain XI, given the heavy price tag he carries within himself. Besides, Archer is an unpredictable cricketer who can be menacing on his day.

Yuzvendra Chahal

The Jaipur pitch is known to assist spinners, and Chahal is the best Bangalore has got in the spin department. He was effective even on a pace-friendly Chinnaswamy pitch against Mumbai when he took a four-wicket haul.

Shimron Hetmyer

Another big name that has underperformed, you cannot rule out Hetmyer on a batting friendly Jaipur pitch, where big hitters take the most advantage. Hetmyer could put up a surprise performance and get you points on your Fantain XI.
