IPL 2017 Fantasy Guide: Fantasy Tips for Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Lions

IPL Fantasy League

Transfer out: Ajinkya Rahane, Rahul Tripathi

Transfer in: Suresh Raina, Shubham Agarwal

Now, I already have Virat Kohli, ABD and Yuzi Chahal in my team for this game.

Virat and ABD haven’t really set the IPL on fire as of now, but when the chips are down it is the great players that propel themselves to rise from the dead. You can expect these two stalwarts to set the stage on fire tonight.

Gujarat Lions don’t play again until Saturday night and thus I will get in just one from their side.

Brendon McCullum, Aaron Finch and Dwayne Smith don’t find a spot in my side because of the leg spin duo of Yuzi Chahal and Samuel Badree in the RCB side. None of these three play leg spin that well and with the added threat of Negi, I would leave all three of them out. Also, despite McCullum’s form this season, I’ll always be against opting for him or rather all three of them, because you never really know which one of these three will fire on a given day.

I’ll be bringing in Suresh Raina for this game. The spin trio of Negi-Badree-Chahal wouldn’t pose much of a threat to Raina as the ball will be turning into him and the other RCB bowlers don’t pose much of a threat to him.As far as batting is concerned, he is your best bet.

Andrew Tye could be another good pick for this game but with almost all my overseas players featuring in the games today or tomorrow, I wouldn’t want to waste a transfer here, especially after Tye’s no show against RCB in the previous encounter.

For the uncapped player I’ll be getting in Shubham Agarwal into my team, as there is no other uncapped player worth 600,000 that I can draft into my side .

Captain: Virat Kohli(if RCB bat second)/ABD(if RCB bat first)
