1. Mukesh Kumar (Delhi Capitals)

  • Expensive at Venue: Mukesh Kumar leaked runs at an alarming economy rate of 10.48 in his recent outing at Visakhapatnam, making him a liability on this high-scoring ground
  • Matchup Disadvantage: Has struggled against Abhishek Sharma, conceding 14 runs from just 6 balls (SR 233.33) without taking his wicket
  • Death Over Vulnerability: His bowling style doesn't suit the flat Visakhapatnam track, particularly during death overs where strike rates exceed 167 at this venue

2. Ishan Kishan (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

  • Strike Rate Concerns: Despite scoring 106 runs in the first, Ishan Kishan's relatively modest strike rate against spin bowling could be exploited by DC's spin-heavy attack
  • Kuldeep Factor: Likely to face significant spells from Kuldeep Yadav, who has an excellent record against left-handers, creating a challenging matchup
  • Middle-Order Pressure: Batting in the middle order limits his powerplay exposure, reducing value as a fantasy pick.

3. Mohit Sharma (Delhi Capitals)

  • Wicketless at Venue: Mohit Sharma, failed to claim any wickets in his previous outing at Visakhapatnam despite bowling four overs
  • Economy Issues: Conceded runs at an economy rate of 10.50 at this venue, offering little control on a batsman-friendly surface
  • Matchup Problems: SRH's aggressive batters like Head and Klaasen are particularly strong against his style of bowling, creating a high-risk selection

While players can always defy statistics and have breakthrough performances, these three carry significant risk factors that make them questionable fantasy selections compared to other options with more favourable matchups and venue-specific advantages.

Fantasy player would be better served focusing on players with proven success at Visakhapatnam or those who have favourable matchup dynamics for this particular encounter.
