Players To Avoid - LSG vs DC Dream11

• Lalit Yadav - Lalit Yadav has played 1 match in which he gave off 15 runs in an over and scored 3 runs off 4 deliveries. He looks in low confidence and might pick up the form later but we are avoiding him in the fantasy teams for this match.
• Ayush Badoni - Ayush Badoni has scored 29 runs so far in 4 innings and having a low average of 7.25. He was in the dream team in the last match with 41 points but we are not expecting a big knock from him in the next match. He has been part of just 1 dream team so far.
