RCB vs DC Risky Captaincy Choices

David Warner – The veteran DC opener could lead the team in the absence of the regular skipper Rishabh Pant but it would not be the right decision to pick him as the fantasy team’s captain owing to his lean run of form with the bat in the last couple of matches.

Mohammed Siraj – The star RCB pacer has shown good form in the last few matches but there’s a lack of consistency in his outings with the ball; so, it might not sound wise to make him the captain of the RCB vs DC game’s fantasy team.
