Poor form alert (RCB)
Shahbaz Ahmed has only 1 wicket in the last 4 matches.
Poor form alert (GT)
Hardik Pandya’s highest score in the last 3 games is 25 runs.
Wriddhiman Saha’s last two scores are 0 and 2.
It will be risky but you can drop Hardik Pandya, especially when Gujarat is chasing. He is not bowling consistently and is not expected to bowl at Chinnaswamy.
Noor Ahmad and Mohit Sharma will be top differential picks when GT is bowling first.
You can consider dropping one of Shami or Siraj. Drop the one whose team is batting first.
Maxwell will be a good captaincy pick.
You can take the risk on Harshal and Karn if RCB is bowling first.
You can consider dropping all the bowlers from RCB if they are batting first.
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Michael Bracewell, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Anuj Rawat (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Wayne Parnell, Karn Sharma, Harshal Patel, Mohammad Siraj
Probable Impact Sub: Dinesh Karthik/Vijaykumar Vyshak
Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Sai Sudarshan, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Dasun Shanaka, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Mohammed Shami, Yash Dayal
Probable Impact Sub: Mohit Sharma
High risk to avoid players with high ownership (try to fit in most players with more than 60% ownership with not more than 2 differentials)
