IPL Fantasy League 2016 Tips: RCB vs KXIP
IPL Fantasy Tips: RCB vs KXIP
IPL’s perennial whipping boys Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) are out of the tournament and are in mood to complete formalities while Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be hoping that they record another big win to take their points tally to 14 and survive to fight till the last round of the league engagements. RCB are currently lying fifth and two wins will take them to the play-offs. For Punjab, who have now lost Glenn Maxwell due to a side strain and Marcus Stoinis to personal issues, their job will be to make life difficult for the RCB but on a small Chinnaswamy ground, the possibilities are pretty less. FULL CRICKET SCORECARD: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) vs Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), IPL 9 at Bengaluru
Best economical pick – The only impressive bowler in RCB line-up is Yuzvendra Chahal, the slightly built leg-spinner from Haryana, who has taken 12 wickets in 9 matches will be a perfect choice for best economical pack.
Top captains & vice captains – Enjoying one of the best phases in his career so far, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s inspirational leader Virat Kohli is ready to play through pain against Kings XI Punjab with multiple stitches in his split webbing in another must-win IPL 2016 encounter. Kohli has got tremendous support from AB de Villiers, who has also scored 597 runs and is second in the list of run-getters. KL Rahul has also had a good IPL so far with 332 runs which includes four 50-plus scores.
Smart pick – Chris Gayle – who had been in slumber for much of this season – smashed the ball to all parts of the ground against KKR in previous match. The burly Jamaican first took on Andre Russell hitting him for 17 in the third over and then clubbed Sunil Narine for two consecutive fours in the fifth. He scored 49 runs in that match.
Cautions Pick – The ex-captain of Kings XI Punjab David Miller is a big flop in this season. He didn’t perform to his capability in this season. He is failing in every match of this season. So before pick him in your team be careful.
My XI – Virat Kohli (Captain), AB de Villiers (Vice-Captain), Y Chahal, Chris Gayle, Sandeep Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Murali Vijay, Sachin Baby, Marcus Stoinis, Kedar Jadhav
