10. Trent Boult
11. Prasidh krishna
– Andre Russell looks safest captain choice considering his middle order batting and atleast a couple of overs with the bowl.
– Jos Buttler looks safest VC choice considering his current lethal form with bat and good numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Expecting atleast a decent knock from Sanju Samson who has been failing to do so from last three innings.
– Taking punt on Aaron Finch who’s available in just 8.5 credits and opening up batting for Kolkata Knight Riders.
– Can take anyone from Pat Cummins or Umesh Yadav at the place of Varun Chakravarthy by replacing Prasidh krishna with Kuldeep Sen.
– Sunil Narine might give some good fantasy points with the help of bat and ball which makes him a decent pick.

10. Sunil Narine
11. Umesh Yadav/Pat Cummins
– Yuzvendra Chahal looks another good VC choice considering his consistency to take wickets.
– Expecting atleast a decent knock from Padikkal after getting out at duck during the last match while Dussen might come up with his due knock of the tournament.
– Taking punt on Venkatesh Iyer who might look to go big after getting out early in last two consecutive innings.
– Umesh Yadav should be preferred over Pat Cummins while bowling first and vice-versa.
– Must try Devdutt Padikkal as C/VC in 10-20-339 members league especially while batting in first innings.
