TFG Fantasy Pundit: Gujarat batsmen might overpower the Punjab bowlers at Rajkot

Overview 

As Gujarat Lions host the Kings XI Punjab tomorrow, expect slam-bang hitting from the Gujarat openers Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum. On the other hand, the Punjab’s batters have struggled. 

On the all-rounders front too, Gujarat have the edge over Punjab. 

Probable 11 that could take to the field 

GL- Brendon McCullum, James Faulkner, Dwayne Smith, Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Dhawal Kulkarni, Ishan Kishan, Pravin Tambe/Shivul Kaushik, Praveen Kumar

KXIP- Shaun Marsh, Murli Vijay, Wriddhiman Saha, David Miller, Glenn Maxwell, Axar Patel, Manan Vohra, Sandeep Sharma, Mitch Johnson, Mohit Sharma, Pradeep Sahu

Players who cannot be ignored

Shaun Marsh- The KXIP opener has found his form and can always be relied upon. 

Brendon McCullum- The Kiwi has been playing with freedom and that has worked wonders for Gujarat. 

Dwayne Smith- The Barbadian is hell bent on taking the bowlers to the cleaners. Dropping him could leave you behind in the fantasy leagues. 

Dark Horses 

Dwayne Bravo- His ability to bowl at the death often brings wickets. He doesn’t look intimidating but his variations get the job done. 

Dhawal Kulkarni- He has shown enough promise in this IPL thus far and could be reasonably priced. 

TFG PUNDIT XI: Brendon McCullum (c), Dwayne Smith, Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Dhawal Kulkarni, Shaun Marsh (vc), Manan Vohra, Sandeep Sharma, Mohit Sharma

Happy Hunting!!!
