Best Performers – KOL vs BLR

(KOL) – Nitish Rana had a great start to his campaign in the first leg of the IPL. The Delhi-born left-handed batsman has scored 201 runs in 7 matches at an average of 28.71, which comprises 2 half-centuries.

(BLR) – Devdutt Padikkal is the next big thing in Indian cricket. He will be acclimatized to UAE conditions since he made his IPL debut last year in this country. The 21-year-old southpaw has mustered 195 runs in 6 matches in this IPL at an average of 39, which includes a knock of unbeaten 101, which came against Rajasthan Royals.

(KOL) – Andre Russell is a powerhouse, especially in this format. There is no stopping him when is on the song and his ability to bowl at the death makes him a real asset for any team.

(KOL) – Shahbaz Ahmed can play as a floater in the batting line-up, and more importantly, he can provide the team with useful breakthroughs as well. He has picked up 4 wickets and has scored 23 runs with the bat in the first leg.

(KOL) – Varun Chakravarthy doesn’t give any sort of room to the batsmen, while his ability to generate extra bounce from the surface makes him one of the tougher bowlers to face. He is highly deceptive and a must-pick player for your fantasy teams.

(BLR) – Patel has an economy of 9.17 in this IPL, it is his wicket-taking knack that makes him the real deal. He is the leading wicket-taker so far, having picked up 17 wickets, with the best figures of 5/27.

(BLR) – AB de Villiers on any day is the savior number 1 for RCB. He has won plenty of matches single-handedly for his team. In 6 innings in this year’s IPL, de Villiers has scored 207 runs at an average of 51.75 and an excellent strike rate of 164.28.
