Dream11 Captain - L. Livingstone
Dream11 Vice Captain - S. Gill
Shikhar Dhawan is one of the best openers in the IPL. He has scored 92 runs in 3 matches so far and was in the dream team in all the 3 matches. He is capable of scoring huge knocks at the top order and we are expecting one coming from him.
Shubman Gill was signed by GT for INR 8 crore in the draft pick. After failing in the first match, Gill bounced back hard in the second match, scoring 84 runs off 46 deliveries only. This is the reason he is currently the top picked player among the batters with more than 91% selection. He scored 116 dream11 points in the last game.
GT skipper and all-rounder Hardik Pandya is coming back from a prolonged injury and he is looking fit and fine now. He has scored 64 runs and picked 1 wicket in 2 matches. As an important all-rounder, he is a must pick player from GT.
Livingstone is currently the top picked player for this match. He performed brilliantly in the last match against CSK, scoring 60 runs off 32 deliveries and picked 2 wickets as well. He scored 159 dream11 points in that match. We are backing him as the dream11 captain for this contest.
Mohammad Shami started all the positive notes for the GT team when he picked 3/25 in the first match, taking LSG’s top order down including KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock. He is currently the top picked bowler and the 2nd top picked player after Liam Livingstone.
Rahul Chahar is playing for a new franchise this year and he has been in good touch since the first match. He picked 1 wicket in the first match, 2 in second and 3 in the 3rd match. He was in the dream team for all three matches. His 221 dream11 points are highest among the bowlers of this match.
