RR vs DC Dream11 Must Pick Players
Yashasvi Jaiswal – The Young Indian Star has been scoring runs at will in all formats of the game and he is in a really rich vein of form in IPL as well. He played an aggressive inning of 24 runs in the game against LSG but against DC, Jaiswal would be looking to score at least 50+ runs. He is an important player and you should definitely pick him in your fantasy teams.
Trent Boult – Trent Boult is someone who is really lethal with the new ball in the powerplay as his ability to swing the ball both ways and his accurate line and lengths have troubled the best modern day batters across the globe. He took two wickets in the previous game and he is a must pick player for your fantasy teams.
Kuldeep Yadav – Kuldeep Yadav, the Chinaman bowler is one of the most trustable and reliable spinners in the world of Cricket. His variations will come in handy for Rishabh Pant against RR and Kuldeep took two wickets in the game against LSG so he would be looking to produce yet another fine performance against Rajasthan Royals as well.
