IPL 2020: 3 must pick players in your Dream11 team for DC vs KXIP game

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) will be taking on Delhi Capitals in what is set to be the first match for both the teams in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Both these teams have over the years under performed significantly and have hardly finished in the top 4. However, things seem to be different this season.

Delhi Capitals (DC) made it to Qualifier 2 last year and this year, a lot of critics and fans alike are backing them to go the distance with the spin attack and Indian core they possess. The KXIP, on the other hand have had a change of guard and will be hoping that holds them in good stead. With several star players in both these line ups, these are 3 players who are a must in your teams.

3 players who must be picked in Dream11 Fantasy team for DC vs KXIP game:

1. Lokesh Rahul (10.5 credits)

Yes, KL Rahul is a player who requires a very high number of credits, but it is important to know why. Rahul has been India’s best T20 player across International games as well as IPL in the last couple of years. While he has 679 runs in last 16 international T20 innings at a strike rate of 143, in last two IPL seasons he has finished among the top scorers with 593 and 659 runs respectively. Add to it that Rahul will not only open the innings but also will be the keeper which gives him the opportunity to earn more points in Dream11 Fantasy.

2. Shreyas Iyer (9 credits)

One of the brightest prospects for Indian cricket, Shreyas Iyer has been very consistent in T20 cricket. With 463 and 411 runs in the last two seasons, captaincy seems to have brought the best out of Iyer. The most important reason to have him in the team is the fact that he is amongst the few new generation players who can grind it out and play within themselves. That skill will be very important on the slower pitches of UAE and hence, Shreyas Iyer is most likely to assume the role of an anchor and bat through the innings and that will bring decent points to you.

3. Glenn Maxwell (9 credits)

Glenn Maxwell is perhaps the risky player to have in your fantasy team. He can either flop really badly or play a jaw-dropping innings. With the match practice behind him and his superb 100 against England just before coming to UAE, Maxwell can be expected to perform well. He will assume extra importance as his off spin will be very handy against the Delhi batting line up which is likely to have 4 left-handers in top 7. He had a great run in UAE in 2014 and if he performs anything like that, he will be a great addition to your team.
