DC vs KKR Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer will be over the moon after scoring a brilliant century in the last game against Mumbai. Coming in as an impact player, Venkatesh Iyer has made a lot of good contributions to the KKR.

David Warner

David Warner has been slammed for his slow knocks but the fact is that the lacklustre show by the top-order batters has not allowed him to break free. With DC in a miserable state, we may see Warner back to his best.

Nitish Rana

KKR captain Nitish Rana also returned to form with a 75 run knock against SRH and will be looking to ride on momentum and pick up some consistency as the tournament progresses. Rana’s form will be key for KKR.

Sunil Narine

Though not at his best, Narine is still a handy player to have. The spinner has bowled well in the tournament and has been very economical, even though he hasn’t got many wickets. But when you are bowling well, wickets are bound to come.

Axar Patel

Axar Patel has arguably been DC’s best batter this season. Coming down the order, he has played some good knocks. Also on a surface like this, he can prove to be more than a handy bowler.
