Expert Fantasy Tips
Captaincy Picks
Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK)
In excellent form with 3 consecutive 50+ scores. Will bat in powerplay and likely to face more deliveries.
Sunil Narine (KKR)
Dual role as opener and bowler. Has 150+ strike rate and takes wickets regularly.
Differential Picks
Shivam Dube (CSK)
Middle-order batsman • 8.5 Cr
Excellent against spin, could be valuable if KKR use Narine in middle overs
Key Strategy
- Load up on top-order batsmen from both teams as Wankhede favors powerplay scoring
- Must pick at least one death overs specialist bowler (like Tushar Deshpande or Mitchell Starc)
- Consider stacking your team with players from the team batting second due to dew factor
- In grand leagues, take calculated risks by picking 1-2 less popular players who could perform
