Match 47 - Mumbai vs Rajasthan: CrickingDuels Fantasy Guide

This CrickingDuels Fantasy guide is for the match 47 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season which will be played between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). It is a huge game for both the sides which will bring the best out of the players for sure. The Wankhede Stadium will host the match and the flat wicket at the venue means there will be plenty of runs on this pitch easily. However, the advantage will be with Mumbai given that they will be playing in front of their home crowd with a massive support.

Krishnappa Gowtham was the man who had won the Royals the game in the last over when these two teams met earlier this season. Royals will be hoping to take the winning momentum going into this game and it will be interesting to the way both the teams will fare. For Mumbai, it will be Rohit Sharma who will be under the pump who has failed to score runs this season. Here we bring to you the CrickingDuels Fantasy guide for the game:

Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR):

Batsmen

The four batsmen I am going with here is Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane. Surya is in amazing form and it will be a mistake not to pick him in the team. The other three picks are purely on the basis of my instincts as none of them have performed to their potential. Sanju Samson has tailed off as the season has progressed, Rohit for me has never arrived at the IPL and the reason to pick Rahane is only that he will be playing at his home ground. I have not picked Evin Lewis only because Krishnappa Gowtham is likely to get him in the first over itself.

All-Rounders

All-Rounders galore in both the teams and it was a tough job to go with only 3 of those players. Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and Krishnappa Gowtham are my picks. All the three players are the match-winners undoubtedly and it is crucial for me to make one of them the captain of my team. There are other all-rounders as well but the trio can’t be ignored at all and if not taken in the team could be prove harmful in public leagues. I have finally left Ben Stokes out of the team as he has been underwhelming consistently.

Wicketkeeper

There is a big confusion here about whether to go with Ishan Kishan or Jos Buttler. Both have hit form magnificently for their respective teams and are coming of match-winning knocks in their previous match. With my gut feeling, I am going with Ishan Kishan and though it is surprising, I would like to stick with him. Jos Buttler has scored 4 back-to-back fifties since he has been opening the innings and is likely to endure a failure against Mumbai now.

Bowlers

Jofra Archer, Ish Sodhi and Mayank Markande are the three bowlers I am going in with. The two leggies have been brilliant this year and I take a risk by picking them in the team. The third bowler is undoubtedly Jofra Archer who has been excellent ever since he has made his debut in the IPL. No wonder, he is the upcoming sensation and has taken the tournament by storm.

So here’s our final CrickingDuels Fantasy team for this game:
