Fantasy Picks for the GT vs PBKS Match
Captain : Jos Buttler
Buttler plays spin effectively. And also he wasn’t able to do well in the last game. So, it is expected that he will make it huge in this game.
Vice captain : KL Rahul
Kl Rahul’s strike rate is not impressive. But still, in the past,whenever he has managed to get a fifty he was able to capture the confidence.
Batsmen : KL Rahul, S Hetmyer, D Hooda
At this moment, the pitch differences are not going to affect Hetmyer. He is in a different phase now.
Hooda, a good power-hitter against spin hasn’t done well in the tournament yet. So we expect that this game will provide him a breakthrough.
Wicketkeepers: Buttler, Samson, Pooran
Both the inform batters are making this game more exciting this time. They can win matches single handedly for their side.
All rounders : R Ashwin, Gowtham, K Pandya
Ashwin is the unsung hero of RR. He has been doing all the work as a batter. He has walked in in almost all different slots and he was able to be fruitful for RR. With the ball he is game changer.
Since RR has got three left handers in their main batting line, K Gowtham will have more job to do.
K Pandya is multi-dimensional and a match winner for LSG so far. Let’s not leave him back.
Bowlers : Y Chahal, M Wood
The pacer M Wood has been impressive in this tournament by picking 11 wickets and being second in the race of Purple cap.
Y Chahal in this kind of wicket will be fruitful for our team. Interestingly he has got good rhythm too.
