DC vs RR Fantasy Cricket Tips

Delhi Capitals Heavy Fantasy XI

• Rishabh Pant has been the most consistent batter for the Delhi Capitals in this tournament. He would be a safe pick if you select more players from the Capitals. Jake Fraser-McGurk has been the most impactful of the DC batters. While he might look risky, McGurk will be a more impactful choice.
