Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings – Top Fantasy Picks
Talking about the fantasy tips it is important to pick players in the form in your squad. Also, quality all-rounders are a must on your fantasy side as they help fetch more fantasy points.
KL Rahul: The Punjab Kings skipper led from the front in the first match and smashed 91 runs that proved to be match-winning. KL Rahul loves batting at the Wankhade stadium and with CSK bowlers not having enough pace to trouble him expect him to play yet another big now which is why he should be the first pick in your fantasy XI.
Chris Gayle: When the match is in Mumbai, you just have to pick Gayle in your fantasy XI as he hit sixes at will and score a big one.
Suresh Raina: The seasoned CSK batsman had a brilliant match against DC as he 54 in 36 balls and was their stand out batsman. Come to the match against PBKS, Raina will again be keen to contribute and he should be one of the batsmen in your fantasy XI.
Moeen Ali: The CSK all-rounder will again bat at number 3 which means he has a higher chance to score a substantial score. Also, Moeen Ali has the knack of picking wickets in the middle overs which makes him an automatic pick as an all-rounder in your fantasy team.
