If PBKS Bats First

PROBABLE XIs
PBKS - Rahul(C/Wk), Mayank, Gayle, Malan, Hooda, SRK, Henriques, Jordan, Shami, Bishnoi, Arshdeep
Probable Changes
Dawid Malan in place of Nicholas Pooran is more or less a certainty to happen after 6 consecutive low scores for Pooran. Either one between Meredith/Allen/Jhye could replace Henriques in the XI as well.
RCB - Virat(C), Padikkal, Patidar, Maxwell, ABD(Wk), Sams, Sundar, Jamieson, Harshal, Siraj, Chahal
Probable Changes
None.
Most Selected C/VC choices
Rahul, ABD, Virat
Safe C/VC choices for SL and Mini GL teams
Gayle, Maxwell
C/VC choices for GL teams
Padikkal, Mayank, Malan(if plays), Harshal
Very risky Hit or Miss C/VC choices for GL
Chahal(if bowling first), Shami
My Fantasy Team (SL)
(Pre Toss)
Wk - ABD, Rahul
Bat - Gayle, Virat, Patidar, Mayank
AR - Sams, Hooda
Bowl - Harshal, Shami, Chahal
Note - Virat and Gayle have been kept by less than 60% users on Dream11, and Maxwell has been kept by 77% users, due to credit issues. So, safe players can keep Maxwell in place of Virat and have Padikkal in place of Patidar, or else have Virat as your trump pick.
