Dubai: Expectations would be soaring as the two most popular IPL sides – Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings – lock horns in the second phase opener on Sunday in Dubai. What makes the two sides so popular are their superstar captains – MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. Two of the greatest Indian cricketers will face-off in Dubai in what is famously called the IPL’s El Classico.
IPL season also means it is time for fans to get involved. From cheering their favourite teams to playing fantasy cricket, fans wait for the IPL every year. With two big superstar leaders in both camps, the question is – have you picked them as your captain or vice-captain of your fantasy team?
The senior players know the conditions and would be the ones to watch out for. It will actually not be a bad idea to put your money on the two megastars of Indian cricket.
Suggestion: You could pick Dhoni as your Captain and make Rohit his deputy.
