LSG vs DC Dream11 Team 2 — Grand League XI
Wicket-keeper: KL Rahul (DC) ₹10.5cr
Batters: Nicholas Pooran (LSG) ₹10cr, Aiden Markram (LSG) ₹9cr, Tristan Stubbs (DC) ₹8.5cr
All-rounders: Mitchell Marsh (LSG) ₹9.5cr, Axar Patel (DC) ₹9.5cr, Shahbaz Ahmed (LSG) ₹8cr
Bowlers: Kuldeep Yadav (DC) ₹10cr, Mohammed Shami (LSG) ₹9.5cr, Anrich Nortje (LSG) ₹9cr, Avesh Khan (LSG) ₹8cr
Grand League Captain Options
Captain Option 1: Mitchell Marsh (LSG) — The Australian all-rounder opens the batting for LSG and bowls 2-3 medium-pace overs. A match-winning all-round performance (40 runs + 2 wickets) gives 80-100+ fantasy points. Under 15% ownership expected in grand leagues as Pant dominates selections.
Captain Option 2: Nicholas Pooran (LSG) — If Pant fails, Pooran is the LSG match-winner. His six-hitting record at Ekana is remarkable. Under 20% ownership when Pant is the popular choice.
Key Differentials
KL Rahul as WK instead of Pant saves 0cr but gives a completely different team structure. Tristan Stubbs over Nitish Rana brings DC's best power-hitter — low ownership, high ceiling. Shahbaz Ahmed over Abdul Samad gives a left-arm spin option with better bowling upside. Anrich Nortje adds genuine pace differential — expected under 10% ownership.
