ESPNcricinfo IPL Fantasy League guide: Kings XI Punjab vs. Royal Challengers Bangalore
The exhilarating Indian Premier League (IPL) action will continue tonight, May 6, 2013, with the Kings XI Punjab taking on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Mohali.
With skipper Adam Gilchrist sitting himself out on a number of occasions to give his overseas slot to another and maybe a more in-form overseas player, the intent of Kings XI Punjab is quite clear. They are desperate to collect victories and they are willing
to go to any extent to do that.
Even though most of the Punjab boys have found to make much of an impact, the likes of David Hussey and David Miller have been putting on a fight on regular basis to keep their team in contention for a place in the play-offs.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other hand, is full of match-winners, most of whom have already shown what they are capable of this season. Skipper Virat Kohli has been nothing short of sensational on a number of occasions. Chris Gayle has let his
bat do the talking for him, while AB de Villiers has continued his exceptional form that allowed him to take his national side to an exciting win over Pakistan a couple of months back.
The men in red and gold, however, have struggled to make much of an impact while away from home. Their away record has been dismal, to say the least.
The IPL Fantasy League enthusiast have an opportunity to bag a lot of points today, as today’s game is expected to be a high-scoring one.
One of the most obvious things to do for today’s game is to put Gayle in your team and make him the captain. Expect him to play his characteristic knock, a blistering innings that will include plenty of big sixes and fours.
Kohli will also be a good choice for today’s match, along with de Villiers, both of whom are extremely consistent and capable of scoring big runs quickly.
From the Kings XI Punjab side, it could really pay off to have Hussey and Miller in your team, as both of them have displayed a consistent and formidable form, which promises to shine even more against the rather tame Royal Challengers Bangalore bowling
attack.
