Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru – Indian Premier League 2024, Match 1, Top 5 Fantasy Picks
Ruturaj Gaikwad will replace MS Dhoni as Chennai Super Kings’ new skipper. A calm and composed elegant right-hand batter has smashed 223 runs in the last 5 T20Is against Australia including his career-best score of 123*.
Faf du Plessis will play an anchor role for RCB and was successful in that role last season, hammering 730 runs in 14 matches. The 39-year-old South African averages close to 37 in IPL.
Glenn Maxwell is an explosive batter and uses reverse sweeps and switch hits to a greater effect. He is well versed with the Indian conditions, and mustered 2719 runs in 124 IPL matches but is yet to score a century.
Dinesh Karthik has staggering numbers in IPL, amassing 4516 runs in 221 innings with a strike rate of 132.71. However, he didn’t justify his finisher tag last season managing only 140 runs in 13 matches.
