Dream11 Key Picks: Who Should Be in Your Team?
Let’s get straight into the player options for your Dream11 team. You want to find the right balance, right? Here is your cheat sheet:
Captain Options:
- Suryakumar Yadav (MI): Form hotter than Mumbai summer
- Shubman Gill (GT): If rolling, pop the popcorn
Vice-Captain Options:
- Hardik Pandya (MI): All-rounder = more points
- Rashid Khan (GT): Wickets + economy + maybe a cheeky cameo.
Top Performers So Far
- MI: Learning About Stars
- Best Batsman – Suryakumar Yadav: SKY has been a consistent performance in the 40’s, 50’s with the swagger only he can dance.
- Best Bowler – Jasprit Bumrah: Death overs – a Bumrah game. Tough to score runs against, lots of pressure and still economical.
GT: Learning About Talent
Best Batsman – Shubman Gill: Mr. Dependable. Classy cover drives and keeps a cool head, Gill has been the anchor for GT.
Best Bowler – Rashid Khan: Need a break-through? Call Rashid. His googlies still confuse some of the best in the business.
Injury Watch – Who Might Miss Out?
Do you believe in bad neighbors? Injuries can be that obnoxious person. Here’s the best information we can find.
- MI: Tilak Varma is nursing a little injury. Watch for final updates.
- GT: Mohammed Shami has not been playing due to a back injury. I wouldn’t bet on him being out there in the start.
Suggested Dream11 Fantasy Team
This is a suggestion, this is not a fixed lineup – you will have to tinker once you see the toss and announcements. This is just to give you a base for fantasy:
- WK: Ishan Kishan
- BAT: Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, David Miller
- AR: Hardik Pandya, Rahul Tewatia
- BOWL: Bumrah, Rashid Khan, Mohit Sharma, Piyush Chawla
- VC: Rashid Khan | C: SKY
Quick Story Time
So last week I benched Rashid Khan because of my “feeling” that he wouldn’t perform. Last week, he gets 3 wickets and scores 20 runs quickly. The lesson is back to trusting the stats over the gut.
Let’s Get Real
Do you feel that elation when your fantasy player hits a six? Or your fantasy captain gets out? Me too buddy. This is the Dream11 rollercoaster, still frustrating, but fun and addictive.
