Overview
Debutants Gujarat Lions will take on the hosts Kings XI Punjab at Mohali today.
Normally, the wicket in Mohali tends to favour the batsmen and one can certainly expect some big scores, especially from the power-packed batting line-up of the Lions.
Gujarat have plenty of overseas players to pick from. Hence, you pick them wisely so avoid playing short. The Budget could also be very tight for this round of fantasy cricket.
Probable 11 that could take to the field
GL- Brendon McCullum, Dwayne Smith, James Faulkner/Aaron Finch, Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Praveen Kumar, Dhawal Kulkarni, Pravin Tambe, Shivil Kaushik
KXIP- Shaun Marsh, Murli Vijay, Wriddhiman Saha, David Miller, Glenn Maxwell, Axar Patel, Gurkeerat Singh, Sandeep Sharma, Mitch Johnson, Mohit Sharma, Anureet Singh
Players who cannot be ignored for this round
Suresh Raina- He might not be going through a great run with the bat, but in the IPL, it’s tough to ignore him.
Ravindra Jadeja- He is almost guaranteed to get you wickets with his left-arm orthodox.
David Miller- The new skipper for the Punjab team will be extra pumped to contribute with the willow. Loves playing at Mohali.
Dark Horses
Pravin Tambe- He might be 43, but his skills and temperament in IPL cricket is quite incredible.
Shaun Marsh- Ever since the IPL started, the Aussie has been extremely consistent for Punjab at the top.
TFG Pundit XI: Suresh Raina (C), Dwayne Smith, Shaun Marsh (vc), Dwayne Bravo, Mohit Sharma, Sandeep Sharma, Axar Patel, Pravin Tambe, Ravindra Jadeja, Wriddhiman Saha, David Miller
