IPL 2022: 3 Players to avoid in fantasy teams for RR vs RCB game

Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore will face each other in the 13th match of IPL 2022. The Royals have had a great start to the season as they have managed to win both their matches. They became the first team to defend a total in the tournament. The Royals defeated Mumbai Indians in their previous match by 23 runs after scoring 193 runs in 20 overs. Jos Buttler became the first centurion of the tournament in this match.

Royal Challengers Bangalore lost their opening game against Punjab Kings despite posting a total of 205 runs. In the second game against Kolkata Knight Riders, RCB’s bowlers did a commendable job as they managed to restrict the opponent to a small total of 128 runs. The batters did struggle to cross the line as it took RCB 19.2 overs to chase this total. It looks like RCB is yet to figure out the best playing XI because they are missing a few key players. On the other hand, the Royals have a solid batting attack backed by a good bowling line-up. RCB will have to do a lot of work to have a chance against this opponent.

Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the RR vs RCB game:

1. Anuj Rawat

RCB had to fight a tough battle against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans to pick Anuj Rawat during the auction. They picked him up for INR 3.4 crore from his base price of INR 20 lakh. In the opening game, Rawat made 21 runs off 20 deliveries and was involved in a 50-run partnership with captain Faf du Plessis. However, against KKR, he was dismissed for a duck in the very first over. Royals have a strong bowling line-up and Rawat may not stand a chance against them. You can avoid him in your fantasy team and pick some other players.

2. Riyan Parag

Riyan Parag is a serious timer of the ball and possesses the ability to finish games on any given day. He is batting number six for the Royals in the tournament and has a gigantic batting line-up ahead of him. Parag has been able to face only 13 deliveries in two matches and has managed to score only 17 runs. It is impossible for the Royals to promote him in the batting order and hence, you can avoid him in your fantasy team for this game.

3. Nathan Coulter-Nile

Nathan Coulter-Nile made his debut for the Royals in the first game against SRH. He didn’t have a fruitful debut as he gave away 48 runs in three overs and failed to pick a wicket. He was rested in the second game against MI and was replaced by Navdeep Saini. Saini picked two wickets in three overs including the wicket of Kieron Pollard. Coulter-Nile may not get a chance in this game and hence, you can avoid him in your fantasy team.
