IPL 2024 – Eliminator, RR vs RCB: Top 3 Players You Can Pick In Your Dream11 Fantasy Team As Captain & Vice-Captain

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2024 Eliminator on Wednesday, May 24, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

This is an Eliminator game, and whoever gets defeated in this game will witness the end of their campaign. Meanwhile, the winner of this game will play against the loser of Qualifier 1 i.e. Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 at Chennai.

Both sides played in the 19th match of the ongoing IPL at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium, with the Rajasthan Royals defeating the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets. Jos Buttler’s century was a key factor in that game, but RR will miss his services this time.

Rajasthan Royals qualified for the playoffs because of their incredible winning streak in the first half. While their first half guaranteed them a playoff spot, they would be highly disappointed with their team’s shocking streak of defeats in the last five games. RR’s last game was washed out at Guwahati, and thus they didn’t get a chance to finish in the 2nd spot.

Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore qualified for the playoffs by magically winning 6 out of their last 6 games. RCB, after a pathetic first half, finally made a comeback, pulling off the best comeback ever witnessed in this league. The key players in their turnaround were Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli, and Will Jacks.

The script for both the Royals changed after the first half, and the tables were turned where RCB started their winning run and RR went downhill.

• RCB – Yet to lose in May
• RR – Yet to win in May

Punt players to look out for:

• Swapnil Singh (RCB)
• T Cadmore (RR)

RCB vs RR: Top Three Players You Can Pick in Your Fantasy Team

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli will be the most important figure if RCB has to continue their dream run. Virat’s experience will come in handy in this game. Virat has scored 708 in 14 matches as of now. He scored a century when both teams last met.

2. Riyan Parag

Riyan Parag has proven all his critics wrong by scoring runs when needed for RR. He has been a pillar in their meek and fragile middle order, and with Buttler’s absence, he needs to step up in this eliminator. Riyan has scored 532 runs in 13 matches.

3. Cameron Green

Cameron Green was trolled initially for the iconic trade he was a part of, but in recent matches, he has shown flair in his batting prowess and his bowling abilities. He has scored 228 runs in 12 matches and has also taken 9 wickets.

Riyan Parag and Virat Kohli are ideal choices for captaincy and vice-captaincy in this game.
