Hello and welcome back to ‘Khelo Dimag Se’ (Play with mind) presented to you by Dream11.
As I mentioned in my previous show, Nitish Rana ended up as the differentiator in yesterday's game between DC and KKR.So, people who picked Nitish Rana would have definitely benefitted.Likewise, they made a last-minute change by replacing Khaleel Ahmed with Chetan Sakariya. So, I hope you guys picked Chetan Sakariya instead of Khaleel Ahmed too.
Of course, as usual, Narine was among the wickets. I guess you replaced a bowler for Chetan Sakariya.Anyway, today, we are going to see the fantasy segment for the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings.I am still stuck with their old name Kings XI Punjab.This game is kind of a mid-table clash.
The winner of this game has more chances of storming into the top 4.In fact, if Punjab Kings win this game, they will be in the race for the top 4 spot.If Lucknow Super Giants win, they will further strengthen their chances for qualification.That's the beauty of IPL as far as this week is concerned. Few teams will climb up the ladder, and few teams will go down the ladder.
As far as this game is concerned, it's important to see where this game is going to be played.This game is going to take place at the MCA stadium in Pune.Even when CSK played against Gujarat Titans, if not for David Miller's resurrection act, 170 would have still been a huge score to chase down.
Likewise, the game we (RR) played against RCB as well.We thought we were below par when we scored 145. I still feel it was a 160-pitch.
It was a tricky pitch. It's not a flat wicket by any means.There is something in it for the bowlers. So, we have to carefully choose the bowlers for today's game.Before I get into the team composition, I will let you guys know how many percentages of people have picked certain players.90% of people have picked KL Rahul.
But the important thing to be noted here is almost 45% of people have also picked him as their captain for the game.That's a whopping number. Any game that KL Rahul plays, 45-50% of people are picking him as their captain for that game.This has been the trend. Quinton de Kock has been picked by 65% of people.
To be accurate, 64.84% of people have picked Quinton de Kock.I feel Quinton de Kock can be picked for today's fantasy team, guys.Because when I was with the Delhi Capitals, both Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada felt that he will have the upper hand when they bowl to him and Quinton de Kock also feels the same while playing against them.
So, he has always given them a start in the powerplay.So, I will continue having them both (KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock) on my side. Other options: Bairstow and Jitesh Sharma.We can certainly back Jitesh Sharma and pick him but he plays lower down the order at number 6.When it comes to batsmen, Shikhar Dhawan is back to form. He played exceptionally well against CSK in the last game.He has been picked by 88% of people. Mayank Agarwal has been picked by 65% of people.
PBKS VS LSG IPL 2022 MATCH
Surprisingly, only 37% of people have picked Deepak Hooda. Just like I picked Nitish Rana yesterday, I am picking Deepak Hooda and expecting him to be my differentiator pick.
Since Punjab has Shikhar Dhawan and Bhanuka Rajapaksa at the top, I feel that he might also get an over or two.Or will KL Rahul use Badoni's off spin? We will never know.65% of people have picked Bhanuka Rajapaksa on the back of his performance against CSK in the last game.Marcus Stoinis and Manish Pandey have been picked by 36% each.
Coming to all-rounders, Krunal Pandya has been picked by 60% of people.Jason Holder has been picked by 70%. As usual, Liam Livingstone has been picked by 83% of people.But since Punjab Kings got all-out against Delhi Capitals, they changed their approach with their top three consuming more overs and therefore, Livingstone didn't get many overs to face in the previous match.
But I am expecting him to get more overs to face especially if the wicket was anything similar to that we had for the last game.Coming to bowlers, Avesh Khan has been picked by only few people since he is recovering from a side strain and it is not easy to recover from a side strain.Rabada has been picked by 84% of people. Rahul Chahar has been picked by 69% of people.Ravi Bishnoi has been picked by 49% of people.Arshdeep Singh has been picked by 22% of people. Dushmantha Chameera has been picked by 38% of people.
Please wait and watch on whom am I going to pick in my team for the day.I will read out my team and also explain the reasons for picking the players.Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul. As I said earlier, I am going with both of them. I am going with two keeper theory.
2 wicket-keepers, 4 batsmen, 2 all-rounders, and 3 bowlers
.I explained to you why I picked Quinton de Kock. KL Rahul will be my captain for the day.Batsmen: Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, Marcus Stoinis, and Deepak Hooda.A fast-bowler who can hit the deck hardLikewise, a spinner who can drag his length instead of bowling it full.
Those types of spinners will have a great impact on these surfaces.Livingstone is that type of spinner. And anyway, I have him in my side.Anyway, we will see the four batsmen I have picked. Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, Marcus Stoinis, and Deepak Hooda.Marcus Stoinis might also get a few overs with the ball. KL Rahul will have an idea about that surface. Plus, the Pune Super Giants owners have only bought the Lucknow Super Giants. So, their team will have an idea about the ground.
So, a bowler who can hit the deck hard in Stoinis will get one or two overs. Deepak Hooda might also get an over or two and so, I have picked him as well.Jason Holder and Liam Livingstone will be my all-rounders.My three bowlers are Dushmantha Chameera, Kagiso Rabada, and Arshdeep Singh.You might ask me why did I leave Rahul Chahar and Ravi Bishnoi.In fact, Ravi Bishnoi is not completing his quota of overs recently.
Plus, I don't know. In that ground, if you give a bit of air, you might end up giving away more runs than usual.Rahul Chahar against Mumbai Indians as well, I didn't pick him only because it was this ground. Otherwise, he has always been my bank.Ravi Bishnoi as well, I will pick him if the match is played on other grounds. Last game, the spinners picked a few wickets on that ground. But I am going with my hunch and not picking the spinners.
Dushmantha Chameera: Hit the deck bowler, Kagiso Rabada: Hit the deck bowler. Most of them haven't picked Arshdeep Singh. But trust me and pick him.Arshdeep Singh has been exceptional at the death for Punjab Kings.He might not have the numbers (wickets) to show how good he has been. But trust me, he will start picking up wickets in plenty very, very soon.
IPL 2022 action
His fortune will definitely change given how good and consistent he has been.I am feeling confident that Arshdeep Singh will pick more wickets in this game for sure.I will read out my team again. 2 keepers, 4 batsmen, 2 all-rounders, and 3 bowlers.
Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul are my wicket-keepers.Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, Marcus Stoinis, and Deepak Hooda form my batsmen.Jason Holder and Liam Livingstone form my all-rounders.Dushmantha Chameera, Kagiso Rabada, and Arshdeep Singh form my bowlers.Batsmen who can bowl a bit and bowlers who can bat a bit have been my theme for the day.Since the match is at MCA, Pune.
Captain: KL Rahul and vice-captain: Shikhar Dhawan. Once he starts scoring, he will keep scoring consistently and that's why I have gone with Shikhar Dhawan as my vice-captain.In fact, 16% of people have picked Shikhar Dhawan as their vice-captain.My differentiator picks for the day are going to be Deepak Hooda and Marcus Stoinis with the bat.And Arshdeep Singh is my left-field choice with the ball.So, this is my team as per my instinct, hunch, game reading.
Based on this, and as per your hunch, select your team and do well.All the very best for the game. Thank you.
