Analysis

There are so many big names on both teams but it should be form and consistency that should be preferred when picking the players for the fantasy team. Talking about form, GT’s Shubman Gill is in impeccable touch having piled up runs across formats at the international level. Captain Hardik Pandya has been consistently chipping in both departments (batting and bowling) and so has CSK’s Ravindra Jadeja. Ruturaj Gaikwad of CSK is coming into the tournament on the back of a terrific domestic season. 

England’s Ben Stokes is the new addition to the CSK franchise and the English all-rounder is set to play a key role for the four-time champions. In the bowling department, Rashid Khan and Deepak Chahar look like to best options.
