Saturday’s late fixture sees Gujarat Lions hosting Mumbai Indians in Match 35 of the 2017 Indian Premier League [IPL] at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot.

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

SURESH RAINA [1,000,000]

The Lions captain has been one of the most consistent players in the IPL over the years and this season, he has been at it again with some really impressive performances with the bat which even saw him hold the Orange Cap for a brief while earlier this week.

Apart from getting points with his batting, Suresh Raina might fancy bowling an over or two as Mumbai have two left-handed batsmen in their top three.

BRENDON MCCULLUM [950,000]

The former New Zealand skipper has been dismissed for single-digit scores in his last two matches, but he still remains one of the top scoring players in the fantasy game this season.

Brendon McCullum has five scores of 30+ in eight innings this season and will be keen to get back to his best in this game.

JASPRIT BUMRAH [900,000]

Lasith Malinga’s below-par performances should have been a big concern for Mumbai, but Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has held his own as his team’s death-over specialist in this tournament.

Bumrah has nine wickets in eight matches and two scalps each in his last two games. And surely, there’s more to come!
