What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for TKR vs SKN, Caribbean Premier League 2023, Match 3?

Top Pick – Batter

Ambati Rayudu will get the exposure of playing in franchise cricket away from India for the first time. He has got all the skills of a T20 specialist batter to survive in any conditions.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Sunil Narine is a familiar name in franchise cricket and has featured in almost all the leagues all over the world. He picked up 11 wickets and scored 111 runs in the last edition of the CPL.

Top Pick – Bowler

Matheesha Pathirana is a deceptive fast bowler who has gained attention with his remarkable death bowling skills. It’s good to have him on your fantasy teams.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Nicholas Pooran was instrumental in leading MI New York to their first title win in MLC and even guided West Indies to a rare T20I series win over India this month. He is in breathtaking form and a must-pick for your fantasy teams.

X-Factor:

Andre Russell is eyeing a better show this season after a mediocre show in the last edition of the CPL where he collected 132 runs and picked up 6 wickets.

Match Analysis:

Trinbago Knight Riders had a dreadful campaign last year where they finished last in the standings with 7 points. Their core group of players Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine extend their journey with the squad this year as well. Dwayne Bravo who led St Kitts and Nevis Patriots last year is back into the Knight Riders setup. They have signed Martin Guptill, Rilee Rossouw, Matheesha Pathirana, and Noor Ahmad as their overseas picks. They have world-class all-rounders in their ranks consisting of Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, and Sunil Narine. They need to give more emphasis on their fielding as they don’t have energetic men in their lineup.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots didn’t have the greatest of tournaments either as they finished 5th in the standings with 8 points. Hard-hitting batter Evin Lewis has been appointed as their skipper this year. Indian star Ambati Rayudu who recently retired from International cricket will make his first appearance in CPL and his huge amount of experience will boost the side. Their overseas contingent is filled with South African stars with the likes of Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, George Linde, and Corbin Bosch. Sheldon Cottrell and Dominic Drakes will lead the bowling unit. To find the perfect balance they are likely to go with Andre Fletcher as their wicketkeeper.
