*Rajasthan Team Info*
One of the most amazing set of bowling units in this tournament. The Chahar brothers, Khaleel, Tyagi and Bishnoi are all good bowlers and are wicket taking options and have all played in the IPL and would want to do well out here too.
Ashok Menaria is the most experienced player in the team and hence would be leading the side as well.
Lomror, Rajesh Bishnoi, Lamba and Garhwal comprise their batting order and are a good unit. Against a bowling unit which haven't done too much in terms of getting enough experience in this format of the game, this batting unit could do really well and have a good start to this season.
Bharat Sharma hasn't been named in the squad for this game and the keeping duties would be taken by Manender Singh.
*Vidarbha Team Info*
Ganesh Satish is this team's skipper and is one of the most consistent batsman for this team in this format of the game. Apoorv Wankhede is a great opener and a consistent performer with the bat too and gives a good support to Satish. Against a quality bowling unit, it's these two batsmen would have to step up to have a good start to their season.
Following them would be three Akshay's, all of whom are involved in different roles for the team and all of them are equally talented youngsters and would want to make a mark here in this season and keep improving before the 2021 Auctions.
Yash Thakur and Yash Rathod are both good performers with the ball and are consistent wicket takers as well.
Darshan Nalkande would lead the bowling pack of the team and he picked 19 wickets in just the 9 games that he played in 2019, and is the most consistent bowler for this side.
*Key Players*
Rajasthan - Deepak Chahar, Mahipal Lomror, Rajesh Bishnoi, Ravi Bishnoi, Ashok Menaria, Akash Singh/Khaleel Ahmed
Vidarbha - Yash Thakur, Darshan Nalkande, Akshay Wadkar, Ganesh Satish, Apoorv Wankhede, Akshay Wakhare
*GL Punt Picks*
Yash Rathod, Lalit M Yadav, Akshay Karnewar, Khaleel Ahmed/Akash Singh, Rahul Chahar, Ankit Lamba
*Safe C/VC choices for Small League Teams*
Mahipal Lomror, Deepak Chahar, Apoorv Wankhede and Ganesh Satish are consistent performers and are safe options to be tried as C/VC in SL teams.
*C/VC choices for Grand League Teams*
Rajesh Bishnoi, Ravi Bishnoi, Akshay Wakhare and Yash Rathod can be tried in GL teams as C/VC choices. It's the first game for almost all these players post lockdown so could be tricky match.
*My Fantasy Team*
Wk - Wadkar
Bat - Bishnoi, Wankhede, Satish, Lamba
AR - Lomror, Rathod, Karnewar
Bowl - D Chahar, Bishnoi, Nalkande
