Top Picks ­Bowlers

MI vs DC Risky Captaincy Choices:

Kieron Pollard was the match-winner for Mumbai Indians against Punjab Kings, this time it was with the ball. He removed the big guns in Chris Gayle and Lokesh Rahul in a single over and scored 15* runs with the bat at the late end of the innings. It’s worth a risk to pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Rishabh Pant has scored 311 runs in 11 innings in this IPL at an average of 38.87, with the highest score of 58*. It’s worth a risk to pick him as your fantasy team captain.

Player you should avoid:

Shimron Hetmyer is batting way low, so often does not get a lot of deliveries to face. On top of that, he is also going through a lean patch. Hence it is advisable not to pick him.
