Grand League Punts
> Rahul Tripathi has an impressive record against his former side, KKR. He averages 32 in nine innings against Kolkata at a strike-rate of nearly 165. Although he is out of form, Kolkata has played an important part in Tripathi's IPL career. The right-hander would eye facing them as another opportunity to get back into rhythm.
> Abhishek Sharma is a good captaincy choice if you want to make big bucks. The left-handed opener sealed his spot at the top of the order with a brilliant 67 in SRH's last game against Delhi. He has also rolled his arm over when required which makes him a valuable asset.
> It is always risky to omit Andre Russell from your Fantasy XI but the right-hander is struggling for runs. It is true, especially on tricky pitches which Hyderabad has had to offer this season. Overall, Russell averages only 21.7 against SRh in his IPL career with the bat.
