TFG Fantasy Pundit: Bowlers will be under pressure as GL take on RPS at Rajkot

Overview 

Debutants Gujarat Lions and Rising Pune Supergiants will clash for the first time at Rajkot. 

Both teams have a power-packed batting, coupled with some all-rounders. 

That said, both teams also have a slightly wobbly bowling. Your clue lies in here. 

Probable 11 that could take to the field 

GL- Brendon McCullum, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishan Kishan, Dinesh Karthik, Praveen Kumar, Dhawal Kulkarni/Pradeep Sangwan, Pravin Tambe 

RPS- MS Dhoni, Faf du Plessis, Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith, Kevin Pietersen, Mitchell Marsh, Ravi Ashwin, Rajat Bhatia, Ishant Sharma, Murugan Ashwin, RP Singh/I Pandey 

Players who should not be ignored for this round 

Faf du- He has been superb playing under Dhoni. Has been a consistent run-getter in the IPL. 

Ajinkya Rahane- He is not going to be explosive, but leaving him out in this tournament is nothing short of stupidity. 

Dwayne Bravo- His dream spell of 4 wickets was vital for the Lions. In T20 cricket, he is indeed reliable. 

Dark Horses 

Ravindra Jadeja- He is likely to bowl all his four overs and is also a decent bat down the order. 

Murugan Ashwin- We saw his talent against the Mumbai Indians last week and he could very well spring in a surprise. 

TFG PUNDIT XI: MS Dhoni, Faf du Plessis, Ajinkya Rahane (vc), Mitchell Marsh, Ravi Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Murugan Ashwin, Aaron Finch, Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo (c), Ravindra Jadeja

Happy Hunting!!!
