DC vs RR Dream 11 Top Picks

Jos Buttler

The swashbuckling English wicket-keeper batter is perhaps having his career-best IPL season. With two tons so far, the orange cap seems to suit him as he is unstoppable with the bat, dispatching deliveries all around the park in his nonchalant style.

Yuzvendra Chahal

A hat-trick in a fifer, Chahal bowled a dream spell in the last game against KKR when his team desperately needed him to deliver. His caliber to pick wickets even on grounds with small dimensions has always made him a standout leggie in the modern-day game. The Purple Cap holder will hope to go all guns blazing in the upcoming matches as well and let his purple patch bring glory to the Royals.

David Warner

After a disastrous IPL season last year, things have changed for the better for the pocket size dynamite. With three back-to-back fifties to his name, the flamboyant southpaw is now back in his true colors after returning to his first IPL franchise. The DC middle-order is yet to fire and therefore a lot relies on the duo of Warner and Shaw to give DC the necessary impetus for a mighty batting display.
