Suresh Raina has been a rock in batting for the Chennai team ever since the inception of the Indian T20 Premier League. His longevity, consistency and a penchant for scoring big in every season have made him a sought after player for every Indian T20 Premier League fantasy cricket team. Add to that the extra points he earns with his electric fielding and he makes for an irresistible package.
4. David Warner
Rounding off the top four of the highest run-getters in the tournament, David Warner is one name that no one can afford to skip when making a team on any fantasy cricket app. This big hitting Aussie has already scored more than 4700 runs in just 126 matches, and walks into almost every fantasy cricket team.
5. Chris Gayle
The “Universe Boss†is one player that everyone wants on his team, even if you can’t always bank on him to be consistent. However, what he may lack in consistency, he more than makes up with a few superhuman knocks filled with numerous fours and sixes to earn all those extra fantasy points.
6. MS Dhoni
The Chennai captain is an all-time favourite for Indian T20 Premier League fantasy cricket players across the world. He can always be relied upon to score big, and even if he doesn’t score a lot on any particular day, his incredible wicket-keeping skills still earn you enough points to stay in the game.

The South African batsman is often called Mr. 360, thanks to his ability to hit the ball in all directions of the ground, sometimes unbelievably so. He is also a fantastic fielder, and most fantasy players bank on him during matches involving his team.
8. Sunil Narine
The West Indies spinner has been a hot commodity in the league ever since his debut in 2012. He remains a hot commodity in the fantasy league circles till date, and some may argue he is an even bigger prospect now that he has added explosive batting to his repertoire.
9. Jasprit Bumrah
The best Indian bowler for the past 5 years, has also been the most picked bowler in Indian T20 Premier League fantasy cricket for a while now. He can always be trusted to pick up crucial wickets with his deadly Yorkers, while also keeping the run rate down.
10. Andre Russell
If there is one player who has been included in just about every fantasy cricket squad over the last couple of years, it is the West Indies maverick Andre Russell. Batting, bowling, fielding, the all-rounder is capable of earning fantasy points with just about everything he does during a game.
