Time: 7:00 PM IST
Preview:
The champions, Hampi Heroes, will aim to fish every round on top of the podium. Hampi Heroes have started the Booster round with two wins out of two. They have won nine games out of the 11. Kaziranga Rhinos, on the other hand, are yet again struggling to conjure a win. They started with two losses and managed only one win this season. Hampi Heroes are the favourites to win this match.
Probable starting lineup:
Kaziranga Rhinos - Vishal Patiyal, Manish Kumar, Rahul Sharma, Mithun Singh, Jatin Rana, Shafi Mohammad, Abhishek Kumar.
Hampi Heroes - Ashish Malik, Karambir Thakur, Rohit Nandal, Ankit Rana, Sachin Manipal, Abhishek Kumar, Rahul Rathee.
Top picks - Ashish Malik, Ankit Rana, Vishal Patiyal, and Manish Kumar.
Super sub: Sawan Khatri will be the super sub. The right raider has been a pain at the back for many defensive units over the last two seasons. He managed to score 50 raid points this season in 86 raid attempts and scored two points off the bench in his last game.
Raiders - Ankit Rana, one of the leading raiders of the Monsoon Edition, slowly makes his way up to the top of the raiders list. With nine points in his last game, he has now taken his tally to 89 raid points for this season which puts him just inside the Top 5 raiders list. Abhishek Kumar had an excellent game where he went toe to toe with Ankit to claim five touches and three bonus points. Manish Kumar will take the last raider spot. He scored five raid points in his last match. Despite his team struggling, he scored 22 raid points out of 55 raids he attempted.
Defenders - Defence has been the strong point for Heroes thanks to Ashish and Rahul. Ashish has been scoring some big High 5s. Another nine tackle points in his last game took his tally to 46 tackle points and 1113 fantasy points. His partner, on the other hand, Rahul, also crossed 40 tackle points for this season in 62 tackle attempts. He scored 65,24, and 180 fantasy points in his last three games. Jatin Rana saved his nose in the last game with a confident show at the back. He managed to get a High 5. In terms of fantasy points, his last two games have yielded 183 fantasy points combined.
All-rounders - Vishal Patiyal will be our sole all-rounder. Raider by nature scored 453 fantasy points and managed to score Super 10 as well. However, consistency is what he lacks and he needs to be more proficient up top to make the impact which is expected of him.
Captain and vice-captain pick: Ashish Malik will be the captain as the defender just keeps getting better and Ankit Rana will be our vice-captain.
