KL Rahul: The first pick in your fantasy tips should be the Punjab Kings skipper who was the highest run-getter in the last season.
Ben Stokes: The Rajasthan Royals all-rounder will contribute with both bat and ball which will help you earn valuable points throughout the match. Stokes was in fine touch during the ODI series against India and will be aiming to continue his fireworks from the first match itself.
Chris Morris: Another RR all-rounder who will be keen to make a statement is Chris Morris as he will be striving to justify his big price tag.
