MI vs CSK – Top Fantasy Picks

Faf du Plessis – The former South African skipper has been on a brilliant run-scoring spree and will be one of the hot picks for the fantasy gamers. He has scored 30+ runs in all of his last five games, which includes three half-centuries as well.

Rohit Sharma – The Mumbai Indians skipper has blown hot and cold so far in the ongoing edition of IPL 2021. However, Rohit knows when to step up and the stage cannot get bigger and better for the swashbuckling opener. The right-handed batter, who celebrated his birthday yesterday, can fire things up in today’s match.

Ravindra Jadeja – The all-rounder from Saurashtra is going through a purple patch and his ability to contribute to all departments make him a hot choice for fantasy lovers. Jadeja has scored over 70 runs and has picked up 5 wickets in his last four games.

Deepak Chahar – The young bowler is one of the deadliest bowlers in IPL 2021 with the new ball. Since he had off-colours in the last two games, Chahar can light up the scene in Delhi.

Quinton de Kock – The Mumbai Indians wicket-keeper batter proved why he is a part of Mumbai’s first XI ahead of Chris Lynn by scoring 70 runs from 50 deliveries in the last game against Rajasthan Royals. With the southpaw finally getting into his rhythm, de Kock will be an obvious pick for fantasy XI.
