ESPNcricinfo IPL Fantasy League guide: Chennai Super Kings vs. Kings XI Punjab
Sitting comfortably on top of the points table are the Chennai Super Kings, but it remains to be seen if they will be able to solidify their place there as they take on Kings XI Punjab in front of the Chennai crowd in the latest Indian Premier League (IPL)
match today, i.e. May 2, 2013.
The IPL Fantasy League enthusiast will surely be expecting to get their hands on plenty of points today. The expectations are definitely not without merit, as the Chennai pitch is a batting paradise and both the teams have plenty of batsmen that can put
big scores on the scoreboard.
Kings XI Punjab have been struggling with consistency and therefore have been unable to find momentum so far in the current season of IPL, but with the likes of David Hussey and David Miller in their team, there is no telling when the team surprises the
teams that are currently sitting on top of the table.
The Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, have been in great touch, something that hardly comes as a surprise as they are one of the strongest batting units in IPL. If having the consistent Michael Hussey at the top of the line-up was not enough, they
have the dangerous Suresh Raina and Mr. Cool MS Dhoni to keep the opposition batsmen under pressure throughout the entirety of the contest.
Since you can only have four players from each team in your Fantasy League playing XI, it is best to focus on the batsmen today instead of going for the bowlers.
Taking into consideration the condition of the pitch, which was earlier described as a batting paradise, it goes without saying that Hussey and Raina from Chennai Super Kings should be a part of your team. If you have enough budget, consider putting Dhoni
in your team as well.
From the Kings XI Punjab side, Miller and Hussey are the two best men to have in your team. Both of them have scored plenty of runs for their team in the season so far and are expected to get a big score.
