IPL 2021: Predicting Top 3 Fantasy Players in SRH vs KKR game

Sunrisers Hyderabad led by David Warner is all set to start their IPL 2021 journey against Kolkata Knight Riders. Eoin Morgan’s team will be upbeat as they have assured an overall balanced team. Both the teams have strong batting and bowling combinations and the contest should be interesting considering how close their matches have been in the past. 

With stars like Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and many more, this clash seems to be quite an interesting prospect on paper. As the two teams battle it out in the middle, here is a look at the top 3 fantasy picks which can help you fetch the most number of points: 

1. Shubman Gill

The 21-year-old batsman will be taking up the responsibility of opening the batting for KKR. Going by his recent form, the Punjab batsman has been timing the ball quite well. He was seen in superb touch with the bat in the Australian tour. In one of the intra-squad practice matches which were organized by KKR, he also smashed 75 runs from 36 balls. In the last season of the IPL, he had scored 440 runs at an average of 33.84 and had shown consistent performances. Interestingly, he had top-scored for Kolkata in both their matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad last season. 

2. David Warner

Australian batsman has been a terrific performer for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Since 2014, when David Warner arrived at the Sunrisers franchise, he has not scored less than 500 runs in any of the seasons where he has featured. He has also notched up more than 600 runs in a season thrice, including the 2016 season when he scored even more than 800 runs. He has been providing them with good starts and he also enjoys batting against Kolkata. Two of his IPL centuries have been against them. 

3. Rashid Khan

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s consistent run in the IPL has been built on performances by their star players like David Warner and Rashid Khan. The Afghanistan spinner is one of the best T20 players in the world and has been a top performer in the IPL. In his 62 IPL matches, he has picked up 75 wickets. His economy has been 6.24. On top of that, he can also score some handy runs down the order. His IPL strike rate is 149.46.
