MUM vs BEN Risky Captaincy Choices:

Armaan Jaffer has failed to convert his start to big ones. He scored 21 runs in his last outing and you can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy captain.

Sumanta Gupta has been decent with both the bat and the ball. He usually bats in the middle-order and scored 22 runs and also bowls a few overs for his side. It’s worth a risk to pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Shivam Dube usually comes to bat in the lower order for Maharashtra. Hence, it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
