RCB vs CSK Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks
- Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli is doing Virat Kohli things this season. There’s no surprise. The Indian superstar batter is scoring runs for fun. He is showing no signs of slowing down. The former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain is third on the Orange Cap list having accumulated 443 runs in 10 matches.
- Josh Hazlewood: One of the reasons why RCB are where they are on the points table is the presence of Josh Hazlewood in the bowling line-up. The Australia superstar is leading the charge when it comes to the wickets. He has taken the most wickets in IPL 2025, having taken 18 wickets in only 10 matches.
- Phil Salt: He might be slightly inconsistent, but the England wicket-keeper batter remains a pure match winner. If he remains on the pitch, let’s say for 5-6 overs, chances are that the opponents are already out of the game.
- Noor Ahmad: Afghanistan youngster is in good form as far as bowling is concerned. With 15 wickets in 10 matches, he has taken the most wickets for CSK this season.
- Shivam Dube: Keep an eye on Shivam Dube. He is the leading scorer for Chennai Super Kings having made 248 runs in 10 matches. In addition, he is the kind of batter who can take the game away from the opponents in a matter of few overs.
- Ravindra Jadeja: The veteran Indian all-rounder has taken 7 wickets and scored 183 runs across 10 innings. His all-round skills make him a solid option to have in RCB vs CSK Dream11 fantasy cricket teams.
