CSK vs RR Dream11 Top Fantasy Cricket Picks
- Yashasvi Jaiswal: Inarguably the most consistent player for Rajasthan Royals in this disappointing season. The 23-year-old scored 50 runs off just 25 balls in the last match, taking his overall runs tally in IPL 2025 season to 523 runs in 13 innings. With that tally, he is sitting third on the Orange Cap list.
- Dewald Brevis: The South African batter has definitely added strength to the CSK’ batting unit. But the sad part is that he joined the team late. That said, he belongs to a different breed of players who are capable of winning any match with their batting.
- Riyan Parag: A handy bowler who has the habit of picking wickets in crucial situations. But his main skill-set is the batting and we know that he is more than capable of winning any match with his batting alone.
- Ravindra Jadeja: Bowling, batting and fielding, he can do anything on the cricket field. His all-round skills make him a sure-shot option to have in Dream11 fantasy cricket teams.
- Noor Ahmad: With 20 wickets in just 12 innings, the Afghanistan international spinner is second on the Purple Cap list heading into this game. He is having a phenomenal season and would like to end the season with the Purple Cap. He is only a wicket behind current Purple Cap leader Prasidh Krishna.
- Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The 14-year-old has been a sensational since he made his debut this season. He hasn’t looked back since hitting a six off the first ball he faced in the IPL. In the last match, the young Indian batter scored 40 runs off 15 balls against Punjab Kings. Consider him in your Dream11 fantasy cricket teams.
- Sanju Samson: Rajasthan Royals captain needs no introduction at all. He is a pure match winner who can put on a special show in any match. But injuries have been the main issue why his run tally isn’t what we expect. That said, he remains a batsman who can single-handedly win any match.
