Rajasthan vs Delhi on March 28
The inaugural champions kick-started their campaign by beating Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs. On the other hand, DC, who are yet to win a title, lost to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by four wickets in their opening clash. While RR tops the points table with an impressive net run rate (NRR) of +1.000, DC is second-last in the standings with an NRR of -0.455. Batting first, DC, led by Rishabh Pant, managed to set a decent target of 175 runs in their 20 overs. A collective effort from the top order and Abishek Porel's final burst proved crucial for them. But, on the back of Sam Curran's brilliant half-century, Shikhar Dhawan and his team overcame the target with four balls to spare. For the Royals, captain Sanju Samson was the key to getting them to a competitive total of 193/4. The right-handed batter smashed a blazing 82 off 52, while Riyan Parag also contributed with a 29-ball 43. Nicholas Pooran and skipper KL Rahul toiled for LSG, but an impressive bowling effort, especially from Sandeep Sharma, restricted them to 173/6.
Best economical pick – Riyan Parag was promoted up the batting order and it turned out to be a good decision as he played a crucial knock in RR's win against LSG. The right-handed batter scored 43 runs off 29 balls, including three sixes and a four.
Top captains & vice captains –Rajasthan Royals’ opener,Yashasvi Jaiswal, could be the best batter in game 9 of the ongoing IPL 2024. Jaiswal has been in impeccable form as of late and looked to be going with the flow in the first game as well. With a score of 24 runs in his previous game, Jaiswal will be keen on doing better and putting in an impressive showing.The three-time Orange Cap winner and the backbone of the DC batting unit, David Warner is known for his ability to anchor the innings as well as accelerate when the situation calls for it.
Smart pick – Royals’Trent Boultcould be the best bowler in the upcoming clash against Delhi Capitals. Boult’s spell in the powerplay has always been lethal, and that could once again be a go-to strategy for Royals against Delhi Capitals.
Cautious Pick – The uncapped Indian all-rounder Sumit Kumar did not had a good debut in the last match. He couldn't make an impact in either department, so dropping him from your team would be a wise call.
My XI – Yashasvi Jaiswal (Captain), David Warner (Vice-Captain), Riyan Parag, Trent Boult, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel

Hyderabad vs Mumbai on March 27
Sunrisers Hyderabadwill faceMumbai Indiansin Match 8 of the2024 Indian Premier Leagueat the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday evening. Both teams suffered defeats in their opening matches, with Sunrisers losing narrowly to Kolkata Knight Riders by four runs, and Mumbai Indians falling short against Gujarat Titans by six runs. Despite their loss, Sunrisers showed promise after finishing at the bottom of the table last season. However, they face a formidable challenge against Mumbai Indians, who boast players like Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah. Despite Mumbai's loss in their previous match, their strong lineup suggests they could make a strong comeback in Hyderabad.
Best economical pick – Naman Dhir was impressive in the first match against GT. He came in at number three and smashed 20 runs in 10 balls before getting dismissed. He has very less credits and would be useful in making a good team.
Top captains & vice captains –Heinrich Klaasenhas been in amazing form recently, consistently scoring runs across various cricket leagues worldwide. He showcased his prowess in the first game as well but couldn't take the team home. His rich vein of batting form is expected to continue in the IPL 2024. Rohit Sharma scored 43(29) in his first match of the season against GT. Though MI lost by six runs, Sharma was impressive. He has good record over the bowlers in the lineup of SRH, which might give him an edge in the match.
Smart pick – Jasprit Bumrahis one of the premier bowlers in world cricket across all formats. He took three wickets in the previous game, yet his efforts couldn't secure a victory for his team. He will be eager to lead his team to victory with another brilliant performance in the upcoming game.
Cautious Pick – Akash Madhwal did not play the first game against GT. The talented pacer was the best pacer for MI in the IPL 2023 in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. However, he is unlikely to play the game against SRH due to unavailability.
My XI – Heinrich Klassen (Captain), Rohit Sharma (Vice-Captain), Jasprit Bumrah, Naman Dhir, Pat Cummins, Hardik Pandya, Aiden Markram, Ishan Kishan, Dewald Brevis, Mayank Aggarwal, Tim David

Chennai vs Gujarat on March 26
On Tuesday evening atChepaukinChennai, we are set to witness a rematch of last year’s IPL final as the 2023 champions,Chennai Super Kings, face off against the 2022 winners and 2023 runners-up,Gujarat Titans. Both teams kicked off their campaigns with victories over the weekend and now clash once again in Match 7 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Although CSK dominated much of their opening game against RCB, they'll need to elevate their performance to secure another victory in this match. With none of their batters surpassing 37 runs in the Match One, CSK will aim for improved batting contributions in this encounter. GT triumphed over a formidable Mumbai Indians side on Sunday, with five wickets falling in the final 13 balls, a crucial factor in their victory. After falling short in the 2023 Final, the Titans are determined to emerge victorious in this encounter, showcasing their motivation to succeed.
Best economical pick – Making his IPL debut, Azmatullah Omarzai showed his fine all-round skills. First with the bat he scored 17 runs with a four and six from 11 balls. Opening the bowling Omarzai picked the wickets of Ishan Kishan and Naman Dhir to cap of a brilliant day.
Top captains & vice captains –Ruturaj Gaikwadholds the key for the Chennai Super Kings in the batting department. As an opener, he can establish a strong foundation for CSK, as he has consistently done in previous seasons. Although he got a start in the last game, he couldn't convert it into a significant knock. He would be eager to showcase his prowess with a solid innings in the upcoming game.Gujarat Titans new skipper showed glimpses of the amazing form with the bat that he exhibited last year. Shubman Gill scored an impressive 31 from 22 balls to give his side a good start. His strokeplay showed the amazing form that he has been in recent times.
Smart pick – Rashid Khanis widely regarded as one of the greatest-ever bowlers in the history of T20 cricket, having showcased his mettle across the globe in various leagues. While he has been quite economical in recent times, he has struggled to pick up wickets as batters aim to play out his spell cautiously. Moving forward, he will be eager to bolster his wicket column with a few notable scalps.
Cautious Pick – Figures of none for 47 from 4 overs isn’t the ideal start to the season for the CSK pacer Tushar Deshpande. On a good batting pitch, he was taken to the cleaners by Faf Du Plessis in particular. Chennai fans and Ruturaj Gaikwad will hope for a better performance in the next match.
My XI – Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain), Shubman GIll (Vice-Captain), Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Rachin Ravindra, Sai Sudarshan, Mustafizur Rahman, Daryl Mitchell, Wridhiman Saha, Ravindra Jadeja, David Miller

Bangalore vs Punjab on March 25
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be taking on Punjab Kings in the 6th match of the IPL 2024. In the 17th edition of the league, the three-time runner-ups will be up against a team that is looking for a change in fortunes in the league. While RCB have been able to perform well in the last four seasons, it has been a while since PBKS last qualified for the playoffs of a season.2014 was undoubtedly the best season of PBKS in the league. It was the last instance of them qualifying for the playoffs of a season. In 2024, they would be hoping to improve their record and hopefully win the trophy for the first time. They had a good start to the season by beating DC by six wickets. In their second match, PBKS will be facing RCB in their own backyard. The match is set to take place on March 25 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB did not have a great start to the season in the IPL 2024. They lost to CSK in their fortress by six wickets. The game against PBKS would be important for them as it will be the first home game for the 2016 runner-ups. Both the teams have some of the best players in the world, like Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Faf Du Plessis, Cameron Green, Mohammad Siraj, Shikhar Dhawan, Sam Curran, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, and so on.
Best economical pick – Shashank Singh did not get an opportunity to bat in the first game against DC. However, he claimed a brilliant catch to get rid of Tristan Stubbs. Come the game against RCB, he could be required as a batter lower down the order.
Top captains & vice captains –Faf Du Plessis gave a blazing start to RCB in the game against CSK. While the visiting side could not win the match, Faf was impressive. Since 2023, he has been incredible at the top, which is likely to continue in the IPL 2024. Shikar Dhawan is one such batter who has been consistent as a batter almost every season. The experienced batter looks to be the same in the ongoing season too. Given the nature of the wicket, one can expect him to be aggressive as well.
Smart pick – Glenn Maxwell was dismissed for a golden duck in the game against CSK. The star batter would love to make a comeback at home where the fans would be cheering him to score runs. If required, the experienced player can step up with the ball too.
Cautious Pick – Karn Sharma is woefully out of form in the last few seasons. The leg-spinner had a bad game against CSK and did not bowl well even on a spin friendly wicket. At Bengaluru, it is very risky to consider him in the team.
My XI – Faf du Plessis (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan (Vice-Captain), Shashank Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Arshdeep Singh, Jonny Bairstow, Virat Kohli, Liam Livingstone, Cameron Green, Kagiso Rabada, Sam Curran

Gujarat vs Mumbai on March 24
The Gujarat Titanswill face off against the Mumbai Indians- one of the strongest teams in theIPL- in the fifth match of the tournament. Both teams have a well-balanced squad and seem evenly matched, making this game the most anticipated contest in the first round of matches and likely to attract a lot of attention from fans. Interestingly, Hardik Pandya, who was the captain of Gujarat Titans last year, has switched teams and will now lead the Mumbai Indians in this tournament. This move will be unusual for fans of MI, but they will be expecting him to replicate the kind of success he had with Gujarat Titans by winning his first final as captain and ending up as the runner-up the next. On the other hand, Shubman Gill has big boots to fill for the Gujarat Titans. GT will be hoping that Gill can lead them to a third consecutive final this season and lift the trophy.
Best economical pick – Sai Sudarshan is a prodigy who is regarded to be the future of cricket. It is at the same venue in Ahmedabad, where he smashed an impressive 96 in the final of the IPL 2023 against CSK. The youngster is continued to take off from where he left the last season.
Top captains & vice captains –It is crucial for GT that Shubman Gill maintains his form with the bat. The right-handed batter performed exceptionally well last season, scoring 890 runs at an impressive strike rate of 157.80. With the absence of Pandya and Mohammed Shami, two of their top performers, the Titans will rely heavily on their star opener to take on the primary role other than captaincy. Ishan Kishan has been out of action in the last three months. However, the star player would be willing to start the IPL 2024 on a good note. Kishan is handy as a wicket keeper and can score runs at the top for MI.
Smart pick – Jasprit Bumrah had a remarkable performance during the second Test against England on a flat Vizag deck. He managed to pick up six wickets in the first innings and three wickets in the second innings, helping India win the match by 106 runs and level the series. Ahmedabad is more of a home ground for Bumrah, where he can extract something out of a crematory-like pitch for bowlers.
Cautious Pick – Vijay Shankar had a terrific season as a batter for GT in the IPL 2023. However, given the absence of some key players, GT might have to leave him out of the playing XI. The experienced player might hence not be in the team.
My XI – Shubman Gill (Captain), Ishan Kishan (Vice-Captain), Sai Sudarshan, Jasprit Bumrah, Rashid Khan, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Kane Williamson, David Miller, Tilak Varma, Rahul Tewatia

Rajasthan vs Lucknow on March 24
The home side is going to be led once again by Sanju Samson. Under his captaincy, the Royals missed a playoff berth by a whisker last season as they finished fifth on the table with seven wins and as many losses from 14 games. In fact, the inaugural champions won four out of their first five matches and only three out of their next nine. Lucknow Super Giants made their debut in IPL 2022 and have managed to qualify for the playoffs in the last two seasons. Last year, they finished third on the points table, tied on points with the Chennai Super Kings. However, the eventual champions played in the Qualifier 1 due to their superior net run rate and the Super Giants had to be content with a spot in the Eliminator. They lost that game to Mumbai Indians and crashed out of the tournament. Both teams have bolstered their squad during the auction and will look to start off with a win. Fans can expect an intriguing clash on Sunday.
Best economical pick – Young Dhruv Jurel was the talk of the cricketing world after his heroics in the Ranchi Test. The 23-year-old shot to fame last year when he made his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals. Jurel has the ability to play 360 degree cricket and is also a world-class wicketkeeper.
Top captains & vice captains –India’s latest batting sensation, Yashasvi Jaiswal, had a stellar IPL 2023 campaign. The left-handed batter scored the fastest half-century in the history of IPL. With two Test double tons under his belt, the youngster is on cloud nine. Ahead of the crucial T20 World Cup selection phase, Yashasvi Jaiswal will look to keep his good run going with the bat. Despite being sidelined due to injury for nearly a month, KL Rahul will be ready for the IPL 2024 season. The 31-year-old has been cast aside in the T20I format for the last two years. KL Rahul has been excellent in the IPL and has been a consistent performer with the bat. The veteran batter knows that this IPL 2024 is his only chance to knock on the doors of Indian selection for the T20I World Cup tournament.
Smart pick – South African star Quinton De Kock didn't have a great time with the bat during the recent SA20 tournament. The former South African wicketkeeper is still a dangerous batter as he showed during the ODI World Cup 2023. Despite struggling for game time last year, Quinton De Kock will get a look in. KL Rahul’s injury means that de Kock will be the first choice wicketkeeper for his side.
Cautious Pick – Avesh Khan will take on his former side in his debut for Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. The right-arm pacer played in the third T20I against Afghanistan in Bengaluru and had a forgettable game. With figures of 1/55 from 4 overs, Avesh Khan is under pressure to rediscover his bowling form.
My XI – Yashasvi Jaiswal (Captain), KL Rahul (Vice-Captain), Dhruv Jurel, Quinton de Kock, Trent Boult, Ravi Bishnoi, Marcus Stoinis, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer

Chennai vs Bangalore on March 22
The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League is here, and the fans can’t wait for the two-month long extravaganza to begin. Ten franchises will go head-to-head and will give their absolutely everything to have a shot at winning the coveted title. The first game of the tournament will see five-time champions Chennai Super Kings take on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M.A Chidambaram stadium in Chennai. Chennai Super Kings hate to make changes to their squad and playing XI and have gradually replaced some of their key players with a few young guns. The retirement of Ambati Rayudu and the over-dependence on Deepak Chahar as the primary Indian fast bowler were two of the main concerns for the franchise ahead of the auctions. They brought in the experienced Shardul Thakur to support Chahar in the bowling department. They also roped in youngsters like Rachin Ravindra and Sameer Rizvi for the batting. The side would be hoping to produce yet another stunning campaign and maybe give their skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a fitting farewell. It was yet another season of chopping and changing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore as they splashed the cash on overseas bowlers after releasing virtually 70% of their bowling unit prior to the 2024 Auctions. They added the likes of Lockie Ferguson, Alzarri Joseph, and Tom Curran to the squad. The franchise also roped in Australian all-rounder Cameron Green for INR 16.50 crore which had also raised some eyebrows amongst the fans. But will these changes result in a change in fortune for the franchise? That is a question only time will tell.
Best economical pick – Shivam Dube is an all-rounder and he can get you maximum fantasy points by both his bowling and batting. He has scored 1099 runs with an incredible strike rate of 142.17 over several seasons. Because of his versatility and medium-paced bowling, CSK may rely heavily on his success to produce favorable results and fancy yet another title this year.
Top captains & vice captains –Faf du Plessis was sensational for Bangalore in the last IPL edition. He scored 730 runs in 14 matches at a breathtaking strike rate of 153.68 and ended up as the second-highest run-scorer in the competition.He has a solid technique, excellent temperament, and the ability to anchor the innings, which makes him a reliable run-scorer. In fantasy cricket, consistent performers like du Plessis can accumulate points steadily through runs scored. Glenn Maxwell is likely to be a key player for the franchise this season and his glorious batting skills along with tidy off-spin can be an asset for the franchise in Chennai.
Smart pick – Virat Kohli looked stupendous with the bat in the 2023 edition of the IPL. He hit 639 runs in 14 matches. Kohli missed the England series due to personal reasons. He will look to make a comeback in competetive cricket through IPL.In fantasy cricket, selecting top-order batsmen like Kohli increases the likelihood of accumulating points through runs, boundaries, and milestones such as half-centuries and centuries.Kohli's ability to consistently score runs across different conditions and oppositions makes him a reliable fantasy pick.
Cautious Pick – MS Dhoni is known to be a specialist wicket keeper and bats only for a few balls in every match, so it would not be an ideal option for the side as well.
My XI – Faf du Plessis (Captain), Glenn Maxwell (Vice-Captain), Virat Kohli, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Dinesh Karthik, Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, Cameron Green, Lockie Ferguson, Daryl Mitchell

South Africa vs India on December 10
South AfricaandIndiawill play the first T20I of the three-match series on Sunday (December 10) at the Kingsmead in Durban. A three-match ODI series and a two-match Test series will follow the T20I series. Suryakumar Yadav has again been assigned the captaincy duty of the Indian team. Under his leadership, India recently defeated Australia in the five-match T20I series. Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammed Siraj have been added to the squad. Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Prasidh Krishna, and Avesh Khan, who were a part of the Indian team against Australia, have been omitted from this tour. Aiden Markram will captain the Proteas in this series, and they have some new faces in the squad. Quinton de Kock has not been picked and is currently busy playing in BBL. Kagiso Rabada has been rested for the white-ball leg of the series and will be back for the Test series. David Bedingham, Nandre Burger, and Mihlali Mpongwana have been picked up on the Proteas side for the first time.
Best economical pick–Ravi Bishnoi was in excellent form during the T20I series against Australia. He bagged nine wickets in five games at an average of 18.22 and an economy rate of 8.20 on high-scoring pitches. Bishnoi's bag of tricks would be tough for the South African batters to pick. He also bowls at high speeds and that could make stroke-making difficult for the opposition batters.
Top captains & vice captains– Aiden Markram is a fabulous player in the shortest format of the game. He has played 33 innings, in the format, for the Proteas and has scored 1063 runs at an average of 39.37 and a strike rate of 149.51. Markram was in good form during the ODI World Cup 2023 and also smashed a century off just 49 balls in a game against Sri Lanka. Yashasvi Jaiswal finished as the third-highest run-scorer against Australia. He amassed 138 runs in five matches at a strike rate of 168.29.
Smart pick –Marco Jansen took 17 wickets in nine matches in the ODI World Cup at an average of 26.47. He will likely play a key role for the team in this series.
Cautious Pick – Lungi Ngidi has been ruled out of the series with a left lateral ankle sprain and can be skipped in fantasy teams.
My XI – Aiden Markram (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal (Vice-Captain), Ravi Bishnoi, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klassen, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, David Miller

West Indies vs England on December 3
Get set for a thrilling clash as West Indiessquare off against Englandin the 1st ODI of the England tour of West Indies 2023 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. This three-match ODI series is a crucial contest on West Indian soil. England holds a slender lead in recent head-to-head encounters, having won three out of the last five ODIs against West Indies. In their last clash, England secured a convincing eight-wicket victory, setting the stage for an exciting battle in Antigua. West Indies enters this series following a recent ODI series against India, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat. In their last match against India, West Indies faced a substantial 200-run loss. India posted a challenging total of 351 runs for the loss of five wickets in their 50 overs. West Indies faltered, being bowled out for 151 runs in 35 overs. Gudakesh Motie's 39 runs and a wicket, along with Alick Athanaze's 32 runs, were the highlights for the West Indies, while Romaria Shepherd's two crucial wickets were a silver lining in a tough outing. England comes into this fixture fresh off an unsuccessful ODI World Cup campaign. But they emerged victorious against Pakistan. In their last match, England dominated with the bat, setting a formidable total of 337 runs for the loss of nine wickets in their allotted 50 overs. Pakistan struggled in response, managing only 244 runs in 43 overs. Ben Stokes' dynamic 84 runs, Joe Root's steady 60, and David Willey's impactful three-wicket haul were instrumental in England's commanding victory.
Best economical pick–Gus Atkinson's debut call-up to England's World Cup squad stemmed from stellar County Championship and The Hundred performances. The rapid Surrey bowler hit 95 mph in The Hundred, notably unsettling Jos Buttler in a fiery encounter. Despite limited appearances—14 first-class matches, 2 List A games, and 41 T20s—Atkinson's prowess poses a threat to West Indies' batters. Come Sunday, he stands as the potential leading wicket-taker, capable of causing consistent trouble.
Top captains & vice captains– Jos Buttler's World Cup stint as skipper faltered, the burden of captaincy seemingly impacting his performance. Across nine matches, Buttler managed a mere 138 runs at an underwhelming average of 15.33. Expectations are higher for the captain in the upcoming three-game ODI series. Buttler's form holds immense sway, capable of either propelling England towards victory or leading them into another disappointing defeat. A formidable all-rounder, Roston Chase's 687 runs and 27 wickets in ODIs not only underline his consistency but also highlight his immense value in both departments. His ability to stabilize the innings and contribute crucial breakthroughs makes him a linchpin for the team.
Smart pick –A true all-rounder, Tom Curran's 418 runs and 30 wickets in ODIs illustrate his ability to contribute effectively with both bat and ball. His knack for delivering in pressure situations makes him a vital asset.
Cautious Pick – Brydon Carse’s bowling performance has been unimpressive in the last few matches, so he can be avoided in your fantasy team.
My XI – Jos Buttler (Captain), Roston Chase (Vice-Captain), Gus Atkinson, Tom Curran, Harry Brook, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, Alzari Joseph, Shai Hope, Liam Livingstone, Ben Duckett
