Axar Patel is a top captaincy option in this game thanks to his all-round ability. He has been at number 4-5, and has scored 232 runs at an average of 29 and strike rate of 161. Axar has been excellent with the ball in the last couple of games, picking 2 for 27 and 2 for 19.
Abhishek Sharma has been inconsistent this season but remains a top captaincy option for his ability to go big. He has accumulated 314 runs in the tournament at an average of 31 and strike rate of 180. The explosive opener has blasted 141 off 55 and 74 off 41 in two of the last five innings.
KL Rahul is having a solid IPL season for Delhi Capitals this year. He has batted in the middle order, and has scored 371 runs at an average of 53 while striking at 146. Rahul has hit three half centuries in nine innings.
Karun Nair’s fantasy ownership has dropped significantly after a series of failures. But he can be a great differential pick. Karun bats in the top order and that gives him plenty of time in the middle.
Jaydev Unadkat is coming off a three-wicket haul in the previous game against Gujarat Titans. Bowling in death overs, he will have a good chance of taking wickets.

Nitish Kumar Reddy has had an ordinary season, averaging just 24 with the bat and striking at 120. Leaving him out would be a wise decision.
Mohammed Shami hasn’t looked anywhere near his best, picking only six wickets in nine innings this season. You can avoid picking him for this game.
