3 Players to Avoid in Your Fantasy Team for CSK vs RR, Match 17 IPL 2023

Find out which players to avoid for your fantasy cricket team ahead of the CSK vs RR match in IPL 2023.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is in full swing, and with each match, the competition between teams is getting tougher. The upcoming match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on April 12th at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is one of the most anticipated matches of the season.

Both CSK and RR have played three matches each this season. After losing to defending champions Gujarat Titans in their opener, CSK have bounced back with consecutive wins against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI). Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, won their opening match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), lost the second match against Punjab Kings (PBKS), and then again won their latest against Delhi Capitals (DC).

As both teams look to gain momentum in the tournament, it is crucial to choose the right players for your fantasy team. In this article, we will discuss three players to avoid in your CSK vs RR fantasy team.

1) Ben Stokes   

Despite being CSK’s marquee signing, Ben Stokes hasn’t lived up to his reputation in IPL 2023 so far. Stokes has been struggling with a persistent knee problem, which has affected his form with both the bat and ball. In his last game against Lucknow Super Giants, Stokes was deceived by a slower ball from Avesh Khan and failed to make a big impact. He has also struggled to bowl and has conceded runs at an economy rate of 12.00 in the two overs he has bowled this season. With Stokes not being at full fitness, it is best to avoid him in your fantasy team for this game.

2) Riyan Parag

Riyan Parag has not bowled a single over in the three games he has played so far, and his batting form has been poor. He has managed just 34 runs in the tournament, and his strike rate has been below par. With RR’s middle-order looking vulnerable, Parag’s lack of form may mean that he will not get a chance to bat in this game. Therefore, it is beneficial to avoid selecting him in your fantasy team for today’s match between CSK and RR.

3) Ambati Rayudu   

Ambati Rayudu has scored 59 runs in the three games he has played so far. Although he has played as an impact player, he has not been able to convert his starts into big scores. Rayudu has struggled to rotate the strike and has been bogged down by tight bowling. With CSK’s top order in good form, Rayudu’s role in the team may be reduced, and he may not get a chance to make a significant contribution in this game. Therefore, it is best to avoid him in your fantasy team for CSK vs RR match.

In conclusion, it is essential to choose the right players for your fantasy team, and avoiding these three players could be a wise decision. Keep an eye on the match to see if these predictions come true, and good luck with your fantasy prediction team.
