RR vs KKR Risky Captaincy Choices

Avesh Khan – The star RR pacer is the second-highest wicket-taker for RR in the ongoing IPL 2024, scalping 17 wickets in 13 innings. But he has also been quite expensive with an economy rate of 9.71 and a strike rate of 21.61; so, picking him as the fantasy team’s captain might not be a wise move in RR vs KKR Dream11 Match.

Mitchell Starc - The veteran KKR pacer and the most expensive player in IPL’s history, Mitchell Starc hasn’t lived up to the expectations; however, he can be picked in the fantasy owing to his experience but his expensive economy rate of 11.36 and a strike rate of 17.41 makes him quite odd when it’s about picking him as the captain of the team.
