In his first match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on March 31, 2025, he delivered an outstanding performance, taking 4 wickets for 24 runs in 3 overs. This feat made him the first Indian to claim four wickets on IPL debut. Selecting Ashwani Kumar for your fantasy team could be a strategic move. His impressive debut indicates potential for future performances. Top captains & vice captains – Nicholas Pooran, the wicketkeeper-batsman for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has been in exceptional form during the IPL 2025 season.

CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Kolkata vs Hyderabad on April 3 CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Kolkata vs Hyderabad on April 3 Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) continue their ongoing IPL 2025 campaign by locking horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, April 3. Notably, this is a rematch of the previous year’s final, which KKR won by eight wickets, to lift their third title. However, this season, the story so far has been different, with both the previous edition's finalists at the bottom of the table. KKR, which is being led by Ajinkya Rahane, suffered a disappointing seven-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season opener. They bounced back well in their next against the Rajasthan Royals, courtesy of Quinton de Kock's unbeaten 97. However, their last game against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians witnessed the visitors suffering a batting collapse and getting bundled out for a mere 116, which the home team chased down with ease.Similarly, SRH too has had a start-stop season so far. They had a brilliant opening game against the Royals, smashing 286 runs and winning the game by 44 runs. However, following that, their results have gone south as they lost both of their previous two games to Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals, respectively. Best economical pick – Ajinkya Rahane's key weapon against the Hyderabad team would be right-arm pacer Harshit Rana. The 23-year-old has picked up just two wickets in three games, but has made sure to hit those crucial lengths. With the defending champions searching for a desperate win, Rana's bowling will be important with the new ball and death overs. Top captains & vice captains – SRH's dependable opener, Travis Head He could be the batter to watch out for in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite SRH losing two games in a row, Head has looked in decent touch with 136 runs in three games at an average of 45.33 and a strike rate of 191.54. The southpaw who will enjoy batting at the Eden will look to go all guns blazing in the powerplay and give a good start to his side.A dynamic player who contributes significantly in both batting and bowling departments. Andre Russell's ability to change the course of a game makes him a strong candidate for vice-captain. Smart pick – Abhishek Sharma will bat at the top of the order and smashed 484 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 204 last season. He will be a top pick. Cautious Pick – ​Manish Pandey, a seasoned right-handed top-order batsman, was reacquired by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for ₹75 lakh during the IPL 2025 mega auction. In the previous IPL 2024 season, his participation was limited, recording 42 runs in a single match with a strike rate of 135.48.Given his limited playtime and modest performance in the last season, along with uncertainty about his inclusion in KKR's playing XI for the upcoming match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 3, 2025, it might be prudent to avoid selecting Manish Pandey for your fantasy team at this time. My XI – Travis Head(Captain),Andre Russell(Vice-Captain),Abhishek Sharma,Harshit Rana,Quinton de Kock, Ajinkya Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen
