Top Picks for RR vs MI Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batters

Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed for a single-digit score for the first time in this edition of the tournament in the last game against LSG. In the first 5 matches, Suryakumar made over 30 runs for MI and he would be expected to deliver a similar performance in this match.

Tilak Varma is the leading run-scorer for Mumbai Indians in the tournament and has been dismissed for a single-digit score only once. Varma has made 2 half-centuries in the tournament.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

In the first 5 matches, Ravichandran Ashwin managed to pick only a single wicket and it looked like he was struggling. However, he has managed to pick 6 wickets in the last 3 matches and might have finally hit the top gear.

Daniel Sams has picked 6 wickets in the last 3 matches for MI and is one of the best picks in this section. Against Chennai Super Kings, Sams managed to pick 4 wickets for 30 runs in 4 overs.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Yuzvendra Chahal is the current purple cap holder in the tournament and has bowled beautifully. Chahal has picked 18 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 12.61, an economy of 7.09, and a strike rate of 10.6.

Prasidh Krishna has been one of the best performers for Rajasthan Royals in the current season. In 8 matches, Krishna has failed to pick a wicket only in two matches. Krishna has managed to pick 10 wickets at an average of 25.10, an economy of 7.84, and a strike rate of 19.2.

Top Picks – Wicketkeeper

After scoring a half-century and two centuries, Jos Buttler failed in the last game against RCB as he could make only 8 runs. He is the leading run-scorer in the tournament and has made 499 runs at an average of 71.29.

RR vs MI Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Suggested Playing XI No.1 for RR vs MI Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Sanju Samson, Rohit Sharma (c), Kieron Pollard, Tilak Varma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Riyan Parag, Daniel Sams, Yuzvendra Chahal (vc), Prasidh Krishna, Riley Meredith, Kuldeep Sen

Suggested Playing XI No.2 for RR vs MI Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Jos Buttler (c), Sanju Samson, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (vc), Shimron Hetmyer, Devdutt Padikkal, Tilak Varma, Riyan Parag, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna

RR vs MI Risky Captaincy Choices:

Riyan Parag won the Player-of-the-Match award in the last game for scoring 56* runs off 31 deliveries and was the only batter to score over 30 runs for RR. It was the first time that he scored over 20 runs in this edition of the tournament and might be a risky choice as the captain of the fantasy team.

Jasprit Bumrah has managed to pick over 1 wicket only once in this edition of the tournament. However, this doesn’t change the fact that he is one of the key players for MI and might finally hit the top of his mark in this game. You can take a risk of picking him as the captain of your fantasy team.

Player you should avoid:

Daryl Mitchell made his IPL debut in the previous match against RCB and could make only 16 runs. You can avoid him in your fantasy team for this match.
