Dream11 prediction for Today’s match

Dream11 Team Prediction

We have talked about the two most successful teams of IPL. But there are many other teams who haven’t lifted the trophy not even once in their history. Teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2011 and 2016, whereas Kings XI Punjab in 2014 came very close to clinch the trophy but eventually weren’t able to cross the line.

Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals all have won the trophy at least once. Kolkata Knight Riders in terms of winning the competition stand at the third position with 2 triumphs to their name. Meanwhile, Hyderabad won two different editions with two different franchises. The Deccan Chargers Hyderabad won it in 2009, whereas, the Sunrisers Hyderabad won it in 2016.

Talking about Rajasthan Royals, they were the inaugural champions of IPL when the Shane Warne led team defeated Chennai Super Kings at the DY Patil Sports Complex in Mumbai. Delhi Capitals remains the only team that has never appeared in the finals of IPL.

Dream11 Today Match prediction

In today match prediction, we are going with the Rajasthan Royals who are expected to be the darkhorse in this edition of IPL. Over the years they have shown prominence in their game but apart from winning the inaugural edition in 2008, they have never appeared in the finals again.

Rajasthan Royals squad for this season

Steve Smith (c), Mahipal Lomror, Manan Vohra, Riyan Parag, Robin Uthappa, David Miller, Ankit Rajpoot, Mayank Markande, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Varun Aaron, Jaydev Unadkat, Kartik Tyagi, Akash Singh, Oshane Thomas, Andrew Tye, Ben Stokes, Rahul Tewatia, Shashank Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Anirudha Joshi, Tom Curran, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Anuj Rawat

The Steve Smith led 25-man side has prominence this year as well. They were very tactical in the auctions this season and were pretty much clear of their resources.

Before the auction, trading someone like Ajinkya Rahane who has been one of their batting mainstays for quite some time for Mayank Markande raised quite a few eyebrows.

However, they went for yet another experienced gem in the form of Robin Uthappa and opted for Under 19 sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal. In Jos Buttler, Steve Smith, David Miller who was fetched in this year’s auction and all-rounder Ben Stokes, their overseas contingent is as good any other team. They have invested in young pacers like Akash Singh and Kartik Tyagi who had a memorable Under 19 World Cup 2020.

The evergreen Sanju Samson, promising all-rounder Riyan Parag, bowling leader Jaydev Unadkat and more young talents like Manan Vohra, Ankit Rajput and Anuj Rawat, they finally look settled and ready to go for the upcoming season. Therefore, terming them as the darkhorse won’t be outrageous.
