Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings will play against each other in the 49th match of IPL 2022 on Wednesday. RCB have lost their last 3 matches and would be looking to make a comeback. In the last game against Gujarat Titans, they did make 170 runs while batting first but failed to defend this total. They would be hoping for a better performance from skipper Faf du Plessis who was dismissed for a duck against GT.

Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, have won only 3 out 9 matches and they need to win every single game from here on to have a slight chance of making it to the qualifiers. CSK managed to win their first game of the season against RCB by 23 runs and would be hoping for a similar result.

Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the RCB vs CSK game:

1. Mahipal Lomror

Mahipal Lomror made his debut for RCB in the last game against GT and batted in the 7th position in a top-heavy batting line-up. He made 16 runs off 8 deliveries before getting dismissed on the last delivery of the innings. Lomror is expected to receive limited opportunities going forward and might not get to bowl much. Hence, it would be better to skip him from your fantasy team.

2. Mitchell Santner

Mitchell Santner has played 4 matches for CSK this season and has managed to pick only 3 wickets. Santner might not make it to the playing 11 if Moeen Ali is completely fit and hence, he is someone you can avoid in your fantasy team.

3. Simarjeet Singh

Simarjeet Singh made his IPL debut for CSK in the last game against SRH. He failed to pick a wicket and gave away 24 runs in 2 overs. CSK might give another opportunity to Simarjeet, but you can pick some other bowlers in your fantasy team. Both CSK and RCB have bowlers who have performed decently and you can pick them. Also, the pitch is likely to have something for the spinners. Hence, it would be better if you pick more spinners in your fantasy team.
