Wicket-Keeper
KL Rahul (11 Cr) is the highest run-scorer from Punjab with 331 runs in 7 matches with a decent contribution in the recent test series which makes him our prime choice.
S.Samson (9.5 Cr) is the highest run-scorer from Rajasthan with 277 runs in 7 matches and he played in the series against Sri Lanka where he was not able to make a huge difference with the bat that can push him to regain his form.
Batsman
M.Agarwal (9.5 Cr) was impressive in the first half of the IPL this season with a total of 260 runs and a strike rate of 141.30 in 7 matches which should continue in the upcoming matches.
R.Parag (8.5 Cr) has scored 78 runs this season with a consistent start which faded away by the 7th match which should allow him to regain his consistent form.
Y.Jaiswal (8.5 Cr) has scored 66 runs with a strike rate of 132 and his good fielding abilities in just 3 matches show his resilient form however he should make the most of the absence of several hard hitters.
All-rounders
D.Hooda (8.5 Cr) performed brilliantly in the first half of the series with 116 runs and 2 wickets he could prove essential in the middle order.
C.Morris (9.5 Cr) has scored 48 runs with 14 wickets in 7 matches which should continue with a better focus which makes him our prime choice for this match.
S.Dube (8.5 Cr) has scored 145 runs so far this season with the potential to improve and with more bowling spells he might just start providing consistent contributions.
Bowlers
M.Shami (9.0 Cr) has taken 8 wickets in 8 matches along with his amazing performance in the test series which should allow him to continue with his IPL dominance in Dubai.
M.Rahman (9.0 Cr) continued to play for his country during this break with his last T20 match against NZ which earned him 4 wickets along with his IPL stats that include 8 wickets in 7 matches.
C.Sakariya (8.5 Cr) has taken 7 wickets in 7 matches in the first half of his IPL debut shows a lot of potential and momentum for the upcoming matches.
Dream11 Team Prediction Captain and Vice-Captain
Chris Morris will be our captain because he can manage the middle order which might be the case in the absence of several crucial players along with his bowling capabilities.
