Playing Fantasy 11? A guide for KXIP vs DD encounter
Many fans playing the Fantasy XI must have enjoyed the opening thriller between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Cricket fans will have a bigger test on a double-header Sunday. So who should you pick for the tie between Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils? Here is our combined playing XI to help you select the best combination.
Gambhir the best choice as skipper
To pick maximum points one should select a captain who promises runs aplenty. And that's where Gautam Gambhir comes to the picture and with his IPL record, we would pick him as the skipper. In-form Mayank Agarwal would be our choice as an opener to bat alongside Gambhir. KL Rahul will keep the wickets and come at the crucial number 3 position.
The middle-order, Stoinis and Morris as all-rounders
Australia's Aaron Finch has shown his strengths as a middle-order batsman recently. One should go ahead with him as he brings the fear factor. Do not write off Glenn Maxwell. He is a handy spinner and an excellent fielder. All-rounder Marcus Stoinis can fetch you points and is our choice as the vice-captain. Proteas Chris Morris comes next as a viable force.
Experience in the bowling line-up could aid fans
Wickets will give you points and the best way is to have an experienced line-up. Amit Mishra has been a top wicket-taker and with R Ashwin, the duo could go on as ideal spin-twins. The 8-over spell by the spinners would be crucial. In the pace department, we would select Mohammed Shami and Andrew Tye.
