RR vs LSG Dream 11 Top Picks
Quinton de Kock
The duo of Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul is touted as the best opening pair of IPL 15. The Proteas superstar is in blistering form with 2 fifties in 4 matches. Against a fierce bowling attack of RR, the team management will definitely want either de Kock or Rahul to play a big knock and guide the team in the first 10-15 overs. de Kock bagged the Player Of The Match against DC in the previous match, which definitely boost his confidence for future games as well.
Ravi Bishnoi
The young leggie has been KL Rahul‘s trump card in the middle overs. Spinners have found it difficult to grip the ball because of dew in the night games, but Bishnoi has still been able to keep the batters under pressure and take wickets in critical junctures of the contest. He will definitely be gung-ho to face the destructive batting outfit of RR and be his team’s premier arm.
Jos Buttler
The swashbuckling cricketer is currently the leading run-scorer in IPL 15 and has aggregated over 205 runs in just 3 matches. His average is over 100 while his strike rate remains a monstrous figure of 143.35. With a century followed by a fifty in the last 2 matches, Buttler has looked unstoppable with the bat. If LSG can’t dismiss him early on, then another Buttler storm might hit Mumbai.
