IPL 2020: 3 must pick players in your Dream11 team for RCB vs RR game

Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore come into this game with opposing momentum, despite the fact that both the teams have won 2 of their 3 games. RCB won a heart-stopping thriller against Mumbai Indians in the Super Over. They are yet to play at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, but having played all their 3 games in similar conditions in Dubai, they will back themselves to continue their winning momentum.

Rajasthan Royals, despite winning 2 of their 3 games, will be slightly concerned. After having dominated their two games in Sharjah, they came apart against KKR in Dubai. The batsmen couldn’t adapt to the new dimensions well, and their strategy which worked in Sharjah didn’t work in this venue. Playing in Abu Dhabi, another new venue, will be a challenge for them.

But with a firing top order and sensational form of Jofra Archer, they will look to put in a much better performance. They will also have at the back of their mind that they have had the wood over RCB in recent times and haven’t lost to them in the last 2 seasons. With an assortment of big players on offer in this game, here are 3 players you must have in your Dream11 team.

Here are the three must-pick players in Dream11 Fantasy team for RCB vs RR game:

1. AB de Villiers (10 credits)

With his recent form and exceptional record against Rajasthan Royals, AB de Villiers should arguably be the first pick of your team. De Villiers has already scored two match winnings half-centuries this year and has 134 runs in 3 games. He also has a great record against RR with 581 runs in 17 innings, including seven half-centuries. After a brilliant last game, de Villiers will once again look to make a solid impact.

2. Jofra Archer (9 credits)

Jofra Archer has been in red hot form this season, not just with the ball but with the bat as well. While he has picked up only 3 wickets in 3 games, he has bowled at a menacing pace and kept the batsmen on a tight leash. The pressure he has built has, in turn, benefitted the other bowlers as well.

He has also been a revelation with the bat, scoring 46 runs in 15 balls, which includes 7 sixes. He will be fired up to bowl against a few of the best white-ball players in the world, and we could expect another phenomenal performance from him.

3. Virat Kohli (10.5 credits)

Yes, Virat Kohli has been in miserable form this season, with just 18 runs in 3 innings and was also dismissed cheaply in the last game. This selection may seem even more astonishing since this game involves a number of world-class batsmen to pick from.

But if there is something Virat Kohli is known for, it is comebacks, and it is very unlikely that he will fail in 4 consecutive innings. The winning boundary he scored off Jasprit Bumrah in the Super Over, is bound to give him confidence and we can expect Kohli to come back with a bang. The fact that a lot of people may not have him in the team due to his recent poor show may end up being even more beneficial for you.
