8.5

Yuzvendra Chahal RR | BOWL

Ravichandran Ashwin RR | ALL

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8.5

Dhruv Jurel

RR | WK

Dhruv Jurel is batting lower down the order and might not face much balls to have an impact from a fantasy point of view. Hence avoid him for this match.

8

Vaibhav Arora

KKR | BOWL

Vaibhav Arora has picked up 2 wickets in 3 matches so far this season and with plenty of better options in the bowlers section he can be left out.
