RCB vs RR Fantasy Cricket Tips

Rajasthan Royals Heavy Fantasy XI

• Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag have been the biggest strengths of the RR batting in IPL 2024. These two will be the safest choices from the RR batting. 
• Yuzvendra Chahal has done a great job with the ball and, given the nature of the NMS pitch, could be one of the most rewarding fantasy picks. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Heavy Fantasy XI

• Virat Kohli has been the biggest asset in the team’s batting. He has been in extraordinary form and will be the safest fantasy pick for the match. Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar have also played a significant role in the team’s batting effort and will be crucial choices for the fantasy contests. 
• Mohammed Siraj had a quiet start to the tournament, but towards the end of the league stage, he looked in good rhythm and could be a rewarding fantasy pick. Karn Sharma and Swapnil Singh could be the game-changing fantasy choices on the NMS wicket.

Virat Kohli (RCB)
