Top 2 Wicket-Keeper picks
1) AB de Villiers – With his wide range of strokes on either side of the wicket, de Villiers can dismantle any bowling assault. His innovation often left bowlers agape as his orthodoxy is compact and aesthetically beautiful.
Matches – 338
Runs – 9387
Average – 37.39
2) Rishabh Pant – The skill set of this left-handed batsman and the expertise demanded by the IPL are perfectly aligned. He’s a hard hitter who can land a variety of punches and easily cross the ropes.
Matches – 129
Runs – 3472
Average – 32.75
Top 4 Batsman Picks
1) Shikhar Dhawan – Dhawan, a naturally attacking left-handed opener, has been a mainstay of Delhi’s line-up for years and leads an unbeatable top-order. Because of his side-on stance and minimal trigger movement, he is strong on the off-side with his cuts and drives.
Matches – 300
Runs – 8689
Average – 32.54
2) Virat Kohli – The right-handed batsman is an aggressive hard hitter player who has shown that he can lead his team with an impressive growth in this IPL. He is in great form and can be trusted to give good fantasy points.
Matches – 317
Runs – 10093
Average – 41.36 3) Prithvi Shaw – Shaw has a god-given prowess at timing the cricket ball, with a low grip and a highly bottom-handed approach to go along with a spectacular bat-swing. His excellent stroke play, deft footwork, and steadfast consistency solidified his place on the squad.
Matches – 64
Runs – 1553
Average – 24.26
4) Devdutt Padikal – He is a young left handed batsman who is a vital component of RCB as he has played excellent innings for them in the past. He has slowly laddered up the ranks to establish himself as an exceptional batter.
Matchess – 47
Runs – 1699
Average – 40.45
Top 4 Bowler Picks
1) Yuzvendra Chahal – The leg break googly bowler is an attacking spinner and leading wicket taker from his team. He is in good form and a wise pick for the next match.
Matches – 213
Wickets – 238
Economy – 7.57
2) Kagiso Rabada – The young tearaway pacers, such as Rabada, are usually the ones who dominate the headlines for their terrifying bounce and savage speed. He’s the closest thing we have to a ‘perfect combination.’ Rabada can swing the ball conventionally, but he loves to utilise scrambled seam deliveries to give the impression that the ball is off the wicket.
Matches – 127
Wickets – 170
Economy – 7.88
3) Mohammed Siraj – He rose as a seamer and with a remarkably swift bowling style. He has a deceptive run up that dazzles even the most experienced batsman and has bowled deadly spells for RCB in the past.
Matches – 80
Wickets – 97
Economy – 8.24
4) Anrich Nortje – Anrich is a pacer who can be regarded as a tearaway. He’s tall, brisk, and always out in the sticks, not to mention moving at an alarming pace. He is the ideal white ball cricketer because of his propensity for bowling yorkers.
Matches – 57
Wickets – 69
Economy – 7.38
Top 2 All-rounder Picks
1) Ravichandran Ashwin – In the IPL, Ashwin exploded onto the limelight with his street-smart exploits, opening the bowling at death and coming on when wickets were needed. He is a key pick for the forthcoming games and a valuable member of his squad.
Matches – 257
Runs – 795
Average – 13.47
Wickets – 253
Economy – 6.94
2) Glenn Maxwell – Maxwell reinvented the contemporary limited-overs game by allowing his instincts to drive his replies to the ball, thanks to his athleticism and rapid reactions. He is a must pick for the next match.
Matches – 319
Runs – 7121
Average – 27.60
Wickets – 113
Economy – 7.71
