IPL 2020 RR vs CSK Dream11 Prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) will cross swords against a belligerent Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Tuesday in Sharjah and look to start the tournament with an early win.

On the other hand, the MS Dhoni-led side got an excellent start in the IPL 2020 after thumping defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in the opener in Abu Dhabi. The side was led by the middle-order troika of Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Plessis and Sam Curran in their 5 wicket win over the arch-rivals.

With this win, the Yellow Army proved that they cannot be taken lightly even with the absence of veterans: Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh.

Nevertheless, RR always enters in the tournament as the underdog, this time Steve Smith-led side will be seen without star all-rounder Ben Stokes (who is expected to miss the beginning of the tournament due to personal reasons) and Jos Buttler (due to extended isolation period).

On that note, we take a look at 3 players who could be the captain or vice-captain of your Dream11 team for the RR vs CSK IPL 2020 match.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

The highest run-scorer of the ICC Under-19 World Cup, held in South Africa earlier this year, Jaiswal is one of the most talked-about players ahead of IPL 2020.

The IPL debutant is expected to open for the Royals and the youngster can set the stage on fire with his technique and textbook shots. However, Jaiswal has already made waves in domestic cricket and has double tons to his name in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

The youngest to score a double ton in List A cricket, who is also a handy leg-spin bowler, can be a trump card for the RR. And there should be no surprises if he becomes the captain or vice-captain of your Dream11 team for the RR vs CSK IPL 2020 game.

Shane Watson

In the IPL 2020 opener against defending champion MI, former Australian cricketer failed to take his score into double figures as a Trent Boult in-swinger caught him in front of the stumps.

Watson’s struggles against the incoming balls are well documented but he doesn’t have any other glaring weaknesses. The Australian player may well return to form against RR’s bowling attack.

The 39-year-old is one of the crucial players in CSK team and also has the backing of captain MS Dhoni and coach Stephen Fleming. He is an excellent contender to be the captain or vice-captain of your Dream11 team for the RR vs CSK IPL 2020 game.

Steve Smith

Earlier, Royals captain Steve Smith missed two matches of the ODI series against England and didn’t cross 20 in the 3 T20Is he played. Although, the former Australian skipper is one of the best batsmen in the world and would be hungry to play some magical knocks for the team.

Smith will have several responsibilities on his shoulder in the absence of Jos Buttler and Stokes. He may well perform under trying circumstances to get a great start in the IPL. Smith is another good nominee to be the captain or vice-captain of your Dream11 team for the RR vs CSK IPL 2020.
