TFG Fantasy Pundit: Fantasy cricket tips for RPS v MI

Overview

The Mumbai Indians have the liberty of playing 2 overseas pacers. While Mitch Johnson is more likely to make the cut, the second spot will see a toss up between Kiwi seamers Southee and McCleneghan. For RPS, Ashwin's absence will mean strengthening their spin department. They will have a tough call to make between Zampa and Tahir. 

Probable 11

MI- Rohit, Patel, Butler, Rayudu, Pollard, Krunal, Hardik, Johnson, Harbhajan, Bumrah, Southee 

RPS- Rahane, Faf, Smith, Dhoni, Stokes, Mayank, Bhatia, Zampa, Dinda, Thakur/Unadkat, A Sharma 

Players who cannot be missed 

Dhoni- In this format, he is always an asset. Can bat up the order if need be and his class behind the stumps is known to all. In fact, he is even a genuine captaincy material in fantasy cricket. 

Rahane- He might not be very explosive at the top, but he maintains a decent record in the IPL. 

Bumrah- He has developed the art of bowling yorkers at regular intervals and that makes him a genuine wicket taker. 

Stokes- With bat or ball, he is likely to deliver for Pune. Drop him at your own peril!
