After winning big once again and this time against defending champions, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders would be looking to seal a win against Chennai Super Kings. The two teams played a really high-scoring game the last time they came up against each other. This match in the second leg of IPL 2021, might just be another such match. This presents a good chance for fans to collect fantasy points.
Here are 3 players you can avoid in fantasy teams in the match between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders:
1. Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik is undoubtedly one of the more pivotal players in this KKR unit, but it should be noted that he hasn’t had a great season with the bat so far. On top of that, he has spent the last few months not playing any professional cricket. Now, it should also be said that he is likely to bat quite low in the batting order of KKR. This means that it is very unlikely he will have any huge returns in the match and might just come out to bat for the last couple of overs. It is better to go for someone who might bat a bit more.
2. Moeen Ali
Even though Moeen Ali has been tipped to be batting at no. 3, it seems his contributions are quite finite and concealed. His style of batting is quite aggressive and it works like two-faced coins. One day, he could be nailing everything, and the other day, he might not. With the kind of attack which KKR has, it is unlikely that he will manage to get along and play a huge role with the bat. On top of that, he hasn’t bowled too much in this second leg and MS Dhoni might just stick to the same plan, which will then not allow him to have a huge impact.
3. Suresh Raina
There is not a lot that is going Suresh Raina’s way as his career seems to be in the twilight phase already. He looked completely out of touch in the first game and struggled to cope up with the pace. In the second game, though he scored around 17 runs, he came to bat at no. 5, which just shows how with time, his favored no. 3 and no. 4 positions have been given to others. To put things clearly, he isn’t the leading batter in this CSK team and might not play a huge role in a match anymore. It is better to pick top-order batters.
