The 2019 Indian Premier League (IPL) season heads into match 20 with Royal Challengers Bangalore playing host to Delhi Capitals on Sunday.
As fans, watching the action is not the only thing to look forward to – IPL fantasy games mean you have the opportunity to get involved as well.
As the IPL’s official partner, Dream11 runs a daily contest for each game apart from the default format which is conducted per round.
Here, we focus on helping you navigate your way through the former.
BATSMAN
Virat Kohli – RCB (11 credits)
Has Virat Kohli ever been this fired up? His RCB side have endured a horror start to the season, losing each of their five matches so far. The skipper hasn’t been at his best either but after a good knock in the second game against Mumbai Indians, he went big with 84 from 49 balls in their most recent defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders. He’ll be determined to try and lead RCB out of their losing streak again.
It's an on-going tournament, we know, but this race is on! @imVkohli takes the lead!!! #playBold #VIVOIPL pic.twitter.com/G7wyW19U8T

BOWLER
Yuzvendra Chahal – RCB (9 credits)
Easily the pick of the RCB bowlers. In fact, Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker this season with nine to his name and an economy of 6.45. Bizarrely, he’s yet to finish on the winning side. Fortunately, that counts for little in fantasy league terms.
ALL-ROUNDER
Marcus Stoinis – RCB (8 credits)
All-rounders from both sides have had quiet tournaments so far but Marcus Stoinis has shown some promise, with the bat at least. He followed up a handy 31 not out against Rajasthan Royals with a quick-fire unbeaten 28 against KKR. With the ball in hand, he’s been swatted around a bit in his two outings and is yet to pick up a wicket.
WICKETKEEPER
Rishabh Pant – DC (10 credits)
Even though Rishabh Pant has struggled to replicate his form from early on in the season with the bat, he’s always likely to cut loose on any given day. Meanwhile, he’s ticking over nice with the gloves, leading the way for dismissals with nine so far. Quinton de Kock is second with six.
CAPTAIN – Virat Kohli
VICE CAPTAIN – Yuzvendra Chahal.
