IPL 2022 | LSG vs RCB | Fantasy Tips

Two teams from the top half are set to battle it out in Match 31 of the Indian Premier League; who will come out on top in this high voltage fixture as KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) go up against Faf du Plessis’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)? 

The pitch at DY Patil is a paradise for the batters, just like any other Mumbai wicket. It will be interesting to see if the RCB top order could finally get going and challenge the high flying top order of LSG. With too many big-name players involved, it will be an exciting day for all the fantasy users looking to find their best XI.

After some meticulous planning and consideration, we have prepared a list of names that could give you significant benefits in the fantasy contests tonight.

The General: You just can't miss out on these big names

KL Rahul (Lucknow Super Giants)

The LSG skipper has been in sublime form this season, scoring 235 runs in 6 matches. The Indian opener has smashed bowlers to all parts of the ground, and not having him on your fantasy team is a gamble you might live to regret.

The Inevitable: Hard to ignore names

Dinesh Karthik (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

The Indian wicket-keeper batter has revived his career in some fashion by helping his team win games from situations one cannot imagine. With RCB’s top order not living up to the expectations, Karthik is the man to put your faith in.

Quinton de Kock (Lucknow Super Giants)

The South African opening batter has been the perfect partner for KL Rahul, scoring 212 runs in 6 fixtures. The left-handed opener has an aggressive approach to the game, and his consistency in the toughest twenty makes him a tempting option.

The Double Dealer: Double the risk, Double the rewards

Avesh Khan (Lucknow Super Giants)

Avesh Khan has been in sensational form so far this season, picking up 11 wickets in 6 matches, but his record against RCB is not great as he averages over 50 against them with the ball in hand, making him a two-way sword.

The Stable Beast: Consistent Players who can give maximum returns on their day

Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

While Faf might be the second-highest run-scorer for RCB this season, he has struggled to score at a quicker rate. The former CSK man has batted with a strike rate of just over 120, but he can go big on his day and win you games.

Harshal Patel (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Harshal Patel has not been able to give vast returns this season, but he has been economical. The right-arm medium pacer is one of the most thoughtful picks amongst the pool of bowlers tonight because he can be economical and have wickets to his name.

The Shooting Star: Players who will rise out of nowhere and win you games

Mohammed Siraj (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

This season, Siraj has struggled for the Bangalore-based franchise; he has five wickets in 6 matches. However, the Indian pacer is one of those players who will rise out of nowhere and win you games on his own. 

These players will have their rare glory days, and you will have to think twice before picking or leaving them out of your team.

The Tide Turner: Young Players who will soon be the big thing

Ayush Badoni (Lucknow Super Giants)

Badoni has been a fresh air of breath lower down the order for LSG; the young Indian finisher has won them games from difficult situations. However, Ayush is a low cost-effective option for fantasy XI.
