Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:

Wicket-keeper: Ishan Kishan should be the preferred option over Parthiv. Kishan is one of the most destructive openers in the competition right now and should be backed to put in a good shift with bat and gloves.

Batsmen: Virat Singh and Pratham Singh have been very impressive in this competition and are great options to have in the side. Two out of Saurabh Tiwary, Kedhar Deobrat and Prashant Gupta should suffice in completing the batting department.

All-rounders: Anand Singh has been sensational at the top of the order with blazing starts in their previous two games. Along with the dashing all-rounder, Ashish Yadav is a viable option to have in the side.

Bowlers: Vikash Singh and Utkarsh Singh were on the mark against Gujarat and should be backed once again although Rahul Shukla is also a viable replacement for either player. Anureet Singh and Krishnakant Upadhyay should suffice in completing the fantasy team.

Captain: Ishan Kishan and Anand Singh are the front-runners for captaincy with their ability to influence the game at any given moment. Both of them are in great form as well and should be backed to put in a match-winning performance.
