Pitch Report
The Dindigul track has been variable with some batting teams struggling to put up a competitive score while on other occasions, chasing has been difficult. Yet, the overall performances until now tilt the scales in favour of chasing.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: Pradosh Ranjan Paul can be the wicket-keeper for this team. Only 8.0 credits need to be spent for the 18-year-old who is earmarked as a massive talent within Tamil Nadu cricketing circles.
Batsmen: Lyca's opening duo of Abhinav Mukund and Shahrukh Khan will be straightforward picks in the team. They are two completely different type of batsmen but if one thing unites them, it will be their affinity with run-scoring. Tuti Patriots' captain Subramania Siva and Akshay Srinivasan who scored a fifty against Madurai are also key players.
All-rounders: The experienced Malolan Rangarajan can contribute both his big-hitting ability and also some classy off-spin bowling. W Antony Dhas will round off the all-rounder picks.
Bowlers: Just like their opening batsmen, Lyca Kovai Kings also have a terrific new-ball pair consisting of Thangarasu Natarajan and K Vignesh. Natarajan is also well-known for his impeccable death-bowling skills. From the Patriots' bowling line-up, Ganesh Moorthi and Tamil Kumaran can be a good option.
Captain: M Shahrukh Khan is the recommended option to be captain for this Dream 11 team. Other choices for captain and vice-captain would be Abhinav Mukund, T Natarajan and Akshay Srinivasan.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Pradosh Ranjan Paul, A Mukund, Shahrukh Khan (C), Subramania Siva, A Srinivasan, M Rangarajan, Antony Dhas, T Natarajan (VC), K Vignesh, M Ganesh Moorthi, T Kumaran.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Wilkins Victor, Pradosh Ranjan Paul, A Mukund (C), Shahrukh Khan, B Anirudh Sita Ram, A Srinivasan (VC), Subramania Siva, Antony Dhas, S Manigandan, T Natarajan, M Ganesh Moorthi.
