Royal Challengers Bangalore come into their game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (Thursday, 6.30pm) on the back of two wins and it’s no surprise to see that two of their key batsman are finding their form at this crucial stage.
While Virat Kohli has scored 70 and 48no against Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab, AB de Villiers was not even needed in the team’s latest outing as they cruised to a 10-wicket win against Kings XI.
His 72no against Delhi was his fourth half-century in the IPL this season and with plenty of big hitters on both sides, the South African should be a dead certain for your fantasy team.
The batsman has an impressive record against Sunrisers’ bowlers, scoring 380 runs in his 219 balls with an average of 42.2 and strike-rate of 173.5.
Another option is to have Shikhar Dhawan. The Indian opener has been sensational for the 2016 winners and two successive half-centuries have made him the second-highest scorer in the tournament. If his recent record is anything to go by, he could well add to that tally. At the Chinnaswamy Stadium, he’s scored 246 runs in eight T20 innings with an average of 49.2.
