Preview

The 13th edition of the Indian T20 League is up and running. After a comfortable win in the season opener, Chennai are set to take on Rajasthan, led by Steve Smith, on Tuesday in Sharjah. This will also be the first game of the season at the venue. Chennai defeated the defending champions, Mumbai, in the first game and despite the likes of Dwayne Bravo and Imran Tahir not playing, they managed to go past their opponents thanks to Faf du Plessis and Ambati Rayudu.

Rajasthan, on the other hand, will be starting their campaign and will be heaving a sigh of relief that Steve Smith has been declared fit to play. He missed the ODI series against England last week after being hit on helmet in the nets. However, they will miss Jos Buttler as he is undergoing a six-day quarantine after arriving in a different plane with his family. However, Jofra Archer, Tom Curran and other players are available for them.

MVP for MyTeam11 Fantasy from each team

Faf du Plessis – Chennai – Faf du Plessis has been slotted in place of Suresh Raina at number three and it seems, he has been given a role to bat through the innings. He scored a nice half-century in the last game and also remained unbeaten. Du Plessis will be key once again for Chennai.

Steve Smith – Rajasthan – The Rajasthan skipper Steve Smith will definitely be a crucial player for the team in Jos Buttler’s absence. It will be interesting to see if he bats at three or four and his form will play a big role in the outcome in the match.

Captain and Vice-Captain Selection

Captain Options: Sanju Samson, Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu

Vice-Captain Options: Shane Watson, Steve Smith, Sam Curran
