#3 Jos Buttler (RR) – 9 credits
Jos Buttler is in terrific form and you shouldn’t hesitate to make him the captain or vice-captain of the RR vs DC game.
The right-handed hitter has played to a strike rate of 221.21, which shows the kind of shape he’s in. He started his campaign with a 54-run knockout against Sunrisers Hyderabad and played a cameo appearance against Punjab Kings.
#2 Sanju Samson (RR) – 8.5 credits
Sanju Samson is the leading run scorer for the Royals so you should pick him on your fantasy team for the RR vs DC game.
The RR captain has scored 97 runs at an average of 48.50 and strike rate of 170.17, on scores of 55 and 42. Samson could give him points as a goalkeeper.
#1 Anrich Nortje (DC) – 9 credits
Anrich Nortje pitched with a lot of fire in DC’s previous game against Gujarat Titans. Although he made 39 runs, the pacer took two wickets with raw pace from him. Nortje should be a must in your fantasy squad for the RR vs DC game.
