DC vs KKR Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks
- KL Rahul: DC batter needs no introduction at all. Right from the ICC Champions trophy 2025, which India won after beating New Zealand in the final, Rahul has been in red-hot form. He is also the leading scorer for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 having racked up 364 runs in 8 innings.
- Sunil Narine: There are signs that the West Indian superstar might be in decline. He is not performing at a level he is expected to perform. Even as a bowler Narine is not having the best of the tournament. That said, he is still a match winner and his all-round skills make him a good option to have in fantasy cricket teams.
- Tristan Stubbs: This South African batter is perhaps not appreciated enough. The 24-year-old delivers with the bat in almost all the games, scoring at a time when there aren’t many overs left. His job requires hitting from the first few balls. Even in the last game when his teammates struggled to strike, Stubbs managed to score 34 runs off just 18 balls.
- Ajinkya Rahane: With 271 runs in nine innings, KKR captain is the leading scorer for the team in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 season. What’s even more impressive is that he is scoring runs at a stupendous strike-rate of 146.68.
- Mitchell Starc: The Australian is the most destructive bowler in the white-ball cricket. He has all the skill-set to strike with the new ball, and also have the ability to bowl yorkers and reverse-swing almost at will. If you are willing to take some risk in grand league teams, consider making him captain.
- Varun Chakaravarthy: KKR’s leading wicket-taker this season. He has been KKR’s best bowler in almost every stats department, be it the economy or taking wickets.
