It’s that time again for you to take a look at your Fantasy IPL team and do a little tinkering as Rising Pune Supergiant host Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday.
Pune have hit a rich vein of form with three wins in a row, while KKR remain one of the form teams so far this year and look a sure bet for the Playoffs.
Here, we look at three players who you should look at picking in your fantasy team for this encounter, including our pick for your Power Player.
POWER PLAYER
If you don’t have Narine in your team by now, change that immediately. If you do have him, then make sure he’s your Power Player.
Narine has been a revelation opening the batting and it’s a matter of time before he puts it all together with the ball too.
He is, quite simply, a must-have in your team.
BEN STOKES [1,100,000] – RPS
Stokes has been excellent with the ball in recent games and is proving to be well worth the huge money RPS forked out on the England international.
He is due some runs with the bat, too, and if he can string it all together then Stokes will guarantee you big points.
His excellent work in the outfield will also net you some bonus runs with Stokes regularly popping up with catches and the odd run-out.
MANISH PANDEY [850,000] – KKR
As far as the Indian contingent is concerned, there is no more a surefire bet with the bat than Manish Pandey.
The 27-year-old has been hugely consistent thus far and looks the part every time he’s at the crease.
He’s scored a half-century every third game so far and with two matches since his last, let’s hope the symmetry continues.
