KXIP will be confident after beating Chennai and SRH have been the best team so far. In this cracking contest, you might be wanting to know the best Fantasy XI to go ahead with. Here we help you with the right combination.
KL Rahul should get the nod ahead as the skipper
The right-handed batsman is in sublime touch with the bat and that in turn has been the biggest positive for KXIP. KL Rahul is also the team's wicket-keeper and would be a genuine choice to open the batting with veteran Chris Gayle. The West Indian will definitely get an outing after his 33-ball 63. Shikhar Dhawan, also in top form, can come in next.
Williamson, Shakib make it a gritty middle-order
Kane Williamson is the ideal choice at number four. He knows how to pace his innings and is an exceptional fielder. KXIP's Mayank Agarwal has shown glimpses of his skills and you could give him another chance, besides trusting the in-form Karun Nair. Shakib Al Hasan can be selected as the vice-captain. The all-rounder is a rare breed of calmness and performance.
Rashid, Ashwin lead bowling charge
R Ashwin at number 8 is a classy pick. He can give you the wickets and also be handy with the bat. Rashid Khan has been exceptional with his variety and gives his side plenty of dot balls to build pressure. Mujeeb Ur Rahman can be a striking force like Rashid and is our choice. Bhuvneshwar Kumar tops the billing as the lone pacer.
