They will now be facing Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, in another knockout clash, which will decide who will be the second finalists and will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday for the IPL trophy. Fans are eagerly waiting for this SRH vs RR clash.
And this match will certainly force the fans to move to the fantasy platforms to form their Dream11 team. Both teams have big match-winners, which will make it a bit difficult for the fans to create a fantasy team that can do well on such platforms. However, here we will talk about five players whom you should pick while making your Dream11 team for the SRH vs RR clash on Friday.
SRH vs RR: Five Players you should pick in Your Dream11 Team
1. Abhishek Sharma
Abhishek Sharma has been brilliant this season, and he has transformed himself into a six-hitting machine. The Southpaw has shown everyone that you can be elegantly destructive, and that’s how he has batted. He has scored 470 runs in 14 innings at an average of 36.15 and a strike rate of 207.04. He has hit three half-centuries with a best of 75 not out. Abhishek has also hit 41 sixes, which is the most this season. Chennai normally produces spin-wicket, and Abhishek is very dangerous against spin. So he is a great option for your Dream11 team, and you can make him the vice captain.
2. Travis Head
With two ducks in the last two matches, Travis Head can be a risky but important pick. The SRH opener is playing his natural game, which has benefited him and the team. Head has scored 533 runs in 13 innings at an average and strike rate of 44.41 and 199.62, respectively. He has one century and four half-centuries to his name. If he plays until 6-7 overs, RR will be in big trouble. Head deals mainly in boundaries, which collect more points. So you can have him in your team, and he will be the captain of many fans on fantasy platforms.
3. Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson has registered scores of 15, 18, and 17 in the last three innings. That means he is getting the starts but has not converted them into big innings. But he has been in good form this season, which makes him a must-pick for your Dream11 team. Samson has scored 521 runs in 14 innings at an average of 52.10 and a strike rate of 155.52, including five half-centuries. This is a do-or-die game for RR, and one can expect a good knock from the captain. Hence, you can choose him as a captain or vice captain for your Dream11 team for SRH vs RR clash.
4. Ravichandran Ashwin
The pitch in Chennai is expected to be a spin wicket that will help bowlers like Ravichandran Ashwin. The veteran off-spinner is a Chennai-born cricketer and has played all of his life at Chepauk Stadium. He is very familiar with the conditions here and can use them to full effect. Adding to that, in case of the failure of RR, he can also come in handy with the bat. Ashwin is coming off a Man of the Match performance in the last game against RCB and will be confident of doing well again.
5. Riyan Parag
Riyan Parag has been the leading scorer for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2024. He has scored 567 runs in 13 innings at an average of 56.70 and a strike rate of 151.60. Parag has scored four half-centuries with a best of 84 not out. His consistency is one of the reasons for RR’s success, and he even played a good inning against RCB in a tricky chase. Parag is the man that RR look at when they are under pressure. So he is a must for your Dream11 team.
