Small League Combination 1 –
1. Sanju Samson
2. Shane Watson(C)
3. Ambati Rayudu
4. Faf Du Plesis(VC)
5. Steven Smith
6. Ravindra Jadeja
7. Sam Curran
8. Deepak Chahar
9. Lungi Ngidi
10. Jaydev Unadkat
11. Jofra Archer
-Shane Watson though failed in last match but his average of 40 in 4 innings against the opponent makes him best captain pick.
-Anyone from Faf & Rayudu can again play a big knock today as they haven’t performed simultaneously but dropping anyone of them might fireback.
-Ravindra Jadeja might be promoted to bat up the order like in last match & bowled at an average of 20 in H2H so he will surely get a wicket.
-Deepak Chahar has an average of 12 with bowl in just three overs bowled against opponent which makes him a must pick especially while bowling first.
-Jaydev Unadkat & Jofra Archer are the only two players from the squad of RR to perform well against CSK so they will be the top pick in my team 1.
Small League Combination 2 –
1. Sanju Samson
2. Shane Watson(C)
3. Faf Du Plessis
4. Robin Uthappa
5. Steven Smith(VC)
6. Ravindra Jadeja
7. Sam Curran
8. Deepak Chahar
9. Lungi Ngidi
10. Jaydev Unadkat
11. Jofra Archer
-Robin Uthappa has batted at an average of 30 & 22 in H2H & at this venue respectively so he will be crucial for the team in any of the innings.
-Steven Smith has done well especially while chasing as his average is of 37 at that time so pick him accordingly.
– Jofra Archer might take one of the opening batsmen of CSK early so dropped Vijay in both the teams as he’s not in a good form.
Grand League Combination –
1. MS Dhoni(C)
2. Kedar Jadhav
3. Ambati Rayudu
4. Robin Uthappa
5. Steven Smith
6. David Miller(VC)
7. Rahul Tewatia
8. Ravindra Jadeja
9. Deepak Chahar
10. Lungi Ngidi
11. Jofra Archer
-MS Dhoni has always played a savior role whenever batting lineup of CSK struggled & also he batted at an average of 38 against Rajasthan which makes him a good captain pick in GL.
-David Miller has batted at an average of 33 in H2H & done well especially while chasing as his average is near to 43 which makes him good VC pick in GL if RR bat 2nd.
-Rahul Tewatia had done well while batting first & took wickets at an average of 21 which is decent. He can be a good pick in SL & GL combination too.
