Top Picks for RR vs RCB Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batters

Faf du Plessis:

Despite getting dismissed for a duck in the Eliminator, Faf du Plessis is still the leading run-scorer for RCB. He has made 443 runs in 15 matches at an average of 31.64 and a strike rate of 130.29 including three half-centuries.

Devdutt Padikkal:

After failing in the initial few matches, Devdutt Padikkal hit the right gear during the business end of the league. In the last 5 matches, Padikkal has made 30+ score thrice. He is likely to play a key role in the middle-order for RR in this game.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Glenn Maxwell:

He has made 277 runs in 12 matches at an average of 27.70 and a strike rate of 167.87 including one half-century. With the ball, Maxwell has picked 5 matches in the last 5 games. He failed in the last game as he was dismissed for 9 runs and is likely to make a comeback in this game.

Ravichandran Ashwin:

He has picked 11 wickets in 15 matches at an average of 40, an economy of 7.33, and a strike rate of 32.7. He has been in excellent form with the bat as well as he has scored two 40+ scores in the last 5 matches.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Josh Hazlewood:

He was in the best of his form in the last game against LSG. He bowled four overs and gave away 43 runs while picking 3 wickets including the valuable wicket of KL Rahul. This wicket turned the course of the match in RCB’s favour.

Yuzvendra Chahal:

He has been the best bowler in the tournament since the beginning. He has taken 26 wickets in 15 matches at an average of 17.76, an economy of 7.7, and a strike rate of 13.8. Chahal is the current Purple Cap holder and would be looking to maintain his dominant run.

Top Picks – Wicketkeeper

Jos Buttler:

After failing in a few games, Jos Buttler returned to his usual form in the last game against GT. He scored 89 runs off 56 deliveries and became the first batter to score over 700 runs this season. There is no one in the list of highest run-scorers who can challenge Buttler for the Orange Cap.

RR vs RCB Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

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

Dinesh Karthik, Jos Buttler (C), Sanju Samson, Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (VC), Rajat Patidar, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Josh Hazlewood, Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga.

RR vs RCB Risky Captaincy Choices:

Rajat Patidar:

After a sensational innings in the last game, the hopes would be pretty high from him. He joined the RCB camp as a replacement for Luvnith Sisodia. In his second game of the season, Patidar scored a half-century. He has not been dismissed for a single-digit score in the 7 matches that he has played.

Wanindu Hasaranga:

He is the leading wicket-taker for RCB this season. In the last game, he was a little expensive as he gave away 42 runs and managed to pick one wicket. You can back him up to perform well in this game considering that the pitch might have something for the spinners.

Player you should avoid:

Mahipal Lomror:

In the last 5 games, Mahipal Lomoror has got a chance to bat in only 3 matches and has managed to score over 20 runs in an innings only once.
