IPL 2020: 3 Players you can exclude from your Dream11 team for MI vs CSK game

Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni will walk on the field for the toss on Saturday to mark the resumption of Indian cricket officially with the much-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL). The defending and four-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Even the Men in Yellow have won the title thrice and are hunting their fourth title to draw level with their arch-rivals in the IPL.

It is expected to be a thrilling encounter between the two teams given the fact that all the Indian players are keen to take the field while some of the overseas players are coming in with great match practice. Making Fantasy team won’t be easy at all for this match with most of the high credit players gracing the game. It will be a tough decision to leave out the players from Dream11 Fantasy team.

Here are 3 players who could be excluded from your Dream11 Fantasy team:

1. Kieron Pollard (9 credits)

Kieron Pollard hasn’t been at best at the start of the IPL over the last few years. Whenever he has been criticised or is entrusted with some responsibility, then he has batted well. But more often then not, the Caribbean player stars in the field thanks to his exceptional catches. In the all-rounder section, it is better to not pick him and utilise those credits for other player. He won’t get to bat much as well unless MI’s batting line-up collapses.

2. Jasprit Bumrah (9 credits)

Yes, Jasprit Bumrah can be left out. Not that he will be rusty but teams mostly try to play his four overs without much risk. He might take a wicket in the death overs but then, any other bowler with fewer credits can also do the same. Bumrah is a brilliant bowler but to form a better team combination, he can be left out of the Fantasy team.

3. Dwayne Bravo (9 credits)

Dwayne Bravo is another player in the all-rounder section who is no more an all-rounder. He will bat at seven and though he bowls four overs, the Caribbean bowler is not at his best like before. He goes for a lot of runs in the death overs and can be left out of the Dream11 Fantasy team.
