KOL vs MI IPL 2021 Cricket 3 Players Who Could Be Game-Changer

KOL vs MI Dream11 Team Prediction: Mumbai Indians always start slowly to an IPL campaign but Rohit Sharma will go into the 2nd game with the sole aim of winning the match against Kolkata Knight Riders at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday evening (IST). Both captains have a plethora of options but one or two players in each team are playing for their spots. Picking them in your fantasy cricket teams could be a risk, but there are also reasons why you should consider the risk factor in Dream11 Grand League teams.

Harbhajan Singh: The 40-year-old played his first cricket in 699 days when he lined up alongside his KKR teammates against SRH in the opening game. Harbhajan said after his team’s 10-run win that he felt like he was playing in his first game, but the fact that he was given only one over, shows that opportunities may come sporadically. That he may even be dropped for KKR’s match against MI.

Still, Harbhajan is a winner on his day and if he is named in KKR Playing 11 against MI, he could produce match-winning figures.

Reasons To Consider Harbhajan Singh As a Risky Option:

Lack of real action – the last competitive game was in the final of IPL 2019, which CSK lost to MI by one run.
Age-Factor: At 40, we know, he is past his prime.
No Fear Factor: Batsmen pick his balls up quite easily.

Rahul Chahar: Was RCB’s favourite bowler in the last game as he went for 43 runs in four overs. The 21-year-old is under pressure ahead of the match against KKR as his spot in MI Playing 11 may come under threat if he doesn’t improve his performance.

Reasons To Consider Rahul Chahar As a Risky Option:

Confidence factor: Seemed to lose confidence when quality batsmen go hard at him.
Lack of variety: Not many variations in his bowling. That factor has undone him in the past.

Shakib Al Hasan: One of the best all-rounders in the world of cricket at the moment, but his stock has taken a massive hit due to a variety of reasons other than cricket. Then there’s is a small matter of fighting for his place in KKR Playing 11 with Sunil Narine waiting in the wings.

Reasons To Consider Shakib Al Hasan As a Risky Option:

Consistency: It’s hard to think that this word, “consistent” could have been used for him, but Shakib is slightly inconsistent these days with both bat and ball.
Under Pressure: As Sunil Narine is another option for the KKR team, Shakib knows his spot in the KKR Playing is anything but decided.
