What are the top picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for MNT vs GJG, Legends League Cricket 2023, Match 2?
Top choice – dough
Universe Boss Chris Gayle is the main attraction of Gujarat Giants. Last year, he only appeared in three games and scored 88 runs in three games at an average of 29.33 and a strike rate of 139.68.
Top choice – all-rounder
Corey Anderson hasn’t lost his touch as he is a regular in the T20 leagues. In the last edition, he managed 72 runs in 5 matches at an average of 14.4 and also picked up a wicket.
Top Choice – Bowler
Mitchell McClenaghan is extremely intimidating as his pace is too high at this level. In the last edition, he managed to pick up just one wicket for the Gujarat Giants.
Top choice – Wicketkeeper
Robin Uthappa likes to dig deep and is not afraid to take calculated risks. It will be too easy for him to bat at this level considering his recent stint in T20 leagues across the world.
X factor:
Hamilton Masakadza was part of the India Capitals in the last edition where he smashed 244 runs in 7 matches at an average of 40.66 which included 3 half-centuries.

Pre-game analysis:
The Manipal Tigers have a strong group of retired cricketers in their squad including players like Mohammad Kaif, Robin Uthappa, Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar, all of whom have played in Indian cricket for a considerable period of time. Their overseas contingent includes Corey Anderson, Mitchell McClenaghan, Colin de Grandhomme, Thisara Perera and Hamilton Masakadza. Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh will lead the highly talented side this year.
Gujarat Giants also have renowned cricketers in their arsenal including Chris Gayle, Elton Chigumbura, Richard Levi, Sreesanth and Liam Plunkett. Parthiv Patel will continue to lead the team for the second consecutive season. Looks like they are a bowling-heavy side with the perfect mix of pace and spin. Keep an eye on Ben Laughlin, who can execute yorkers well and also has excellent slower ones.
