Abhishek Sharma – SRH
Abhishek Sharma has been a standout performer for Sunrisers Hyderabad this season.
The southpaw has accumulated 470 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 207, showcasing his ability to score quickly and dominate the opposition.
Sharma’s aggressive batting at the top of the order has been a key factor in SRH’s success. His consistent performance makes him a top pick for the captaincy in your fantasy team.
Riyan Parag – RR
Riyan Parag has been in sensational form for Rajasthan Royals this season. His ability to play crucial innings under pressure has been instrumental in RR’s journey to the playoffs.
Parag’s match-winning knock of 36 runs was vital in RR’s victory over RCB in the eliminator. With 567 runs in IPL 2024, Parag has demonstrated his capability to anchor the innings and finish games.
As RR faces a strong SRH side, Riyan Parag’s performance will be crucial. His ability to adapt and play according to the match situation makes him a key player for RR and a top choice for captaincy in your fantasy team.
Yuzvendra Chahal – RR
Yuzvendra Chahal, despite a few off games recently, remains a crucial player for Rajasthan Royals. The Chepauk Stadium pitch, known for assisting spinners, will be an advantage for Chahal.
His leg-spin can be a game-changer on the sluggish Chennai surface. With 17 wickets in IPL 2024, Chahal has shown his ability to dismantle batting line-ups.
In Qualifier 2, Chahal’s performance could be decisive. His ability to exploit the conditions and deliver under pressure makes him a smart pick for captaincy in your fantasy team.
