Five ‘Super Striker’ you must pick in ICC Dream11 Season Fantasy
It can be used once every round in any one particular match. It will give users 6 times the actual bonus points for each four hit by a player. That means a player will earn a total of 5 points ( 0.5 x 4= 2 for runs scored and 0.5 X 6= 3 for the Super Striker Free hit) for each boundary hit. Batsmen who have high boundary percentage in most of their innings should be considered for this chip. Let's have a look at five of such players who could go on to have a massive impact as a Super Striker in the Season Fantasy.
Quinton de Kock (South Africa)
The South African wicket-keeper batsman is already one of the top players to pick in the season fantasy because of his explosive batting abilities. Moreover, his average of 5.7 boundaries per innings since the 2015 World Cup, which is the highest among players featuring in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, makes him a far more attractive option to pick as the Super Striker as compared to others. He is also coming into this tournament on the back of a good form in IPL 2019. So, he can be expected to notch up good scores consistently as well.
Shikhar Dhawan (India)
The swashbuckling Indian opener is known for his boundary hitting prowess. He has hit a total of 374 fours in 67 innings during the same period as that considered for de Kock, at an average of 5.6 fours per innings. Moreover, he can turn out to be a good differential player during India’s matches as most fantasy managers will go for the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as their Super Strikers. In that case, Dhawan can make an instant impact with this Free-hit and if you couple that with his healthy ODI batting average of 45.2, you have a player who will give you big scores consistently.
Fakhar Zaman (Pakistan)
The Pakistani batsman’s career might be only 35 ODIs old but he has proven himself to be an excellent striker of the cricket ball in the little time he has spent at the international scene thus far. With a batting average of 52.96 and a strike-rate of 98.32, Zaman hits 5.4 fours per innings on average. He was seen in a fabulous form in the recently concluded ODI series against England as well. The fabulous English batting conditions during the World Cup will only facilitate his stroke-play, thus making him another one of our Super Strikers.
David Warner (Australia)
The Australian opener might have been out of action in the last year or so but he still features in the list of the highest number of boundaries per innings since last World Cup. With an average of 5.4 fours per innings during this period, Warner sits at joint fourth among players featuring in the World Cup alongside Zaman. He knows how to thread the gaps in the field and will be a constant nightmare for the fielders. He can be expected to hit a flurry of boundaries against weak bowling teams and those are the matches when you shouldn't overlook him as your super Striker.
Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh)
The Bangladeshi batsman might look like an unlikely name in this list but he can give you an edge as the Super Striker in your Season Fantasy team over others. With an overall career ODI strike-rate of 79.16, he may not be one of the most popular picks. However, his average of 5.15 fours per innings since World Cup 2015 suggests that he is as prolific as others when it comes to hitting boundaries. So, he is a differential choice who might help you to make steady strides in your season fantasy while other managers lag behind with the more popular choices.
