The Lanka Premier League (LPL T20) is back for another round and another edition which will clash with Australia’s Big Bash League, but it’s going to be an entertaining league for sure. 2020 was the first edition of the tournament and now, LPL 2021 is going to take place between 5-23 December 2021. In last year’s final, Jaffna Stallions emerged victorious but this year, they’ve renamed themselves to Jaffna Kings.
They’re playing in LPL 2021 Match 1 in a rematch of last season’s final where they’ll take on runner-up Galle Gladiators at RPS in Colombo. In fact, all 20 league stage games will be played at this venue while the four LPL 2021 playoffs will be played at the Hambantota Stadium.

Galle Gladiators
Playing for The Chennai Braves in the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 League, Bhanuka Rajapaksa was one of their lone shining lights of the tournament with a few fifties and his penultimate game there saw him scoring 55* as well. He’s surely in our GG vs JK fantasy team today while from the overseas lot, there’s the evergreen Mohammad Hafeez who will bat and bowl and has also returned from a T10 stint in UAE.
Another person who has flown in from UAE for LPL 2021 is Anwar Ali who started his career as a bowler but was being promoted up the order in the T10 League and bowled just a single over in the tournament, but he’s also someone who we want in our GG vs JK Dream11 team. Kusal Mendis has been out since a while and we don’t want him in our team but we think Danushka Gunathilaka at the top can make a big difference.
Jaffna Kings
The recently retired Thisara Perera is leading the side and while he doesn’t have great performances in recent months, he was on top of his game in this home league last season, and could actually make a good fantasy captain or vice-captain in this game. With 21 wickets in 12 games in the recent 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 League, Wanindu Hasaranga is going to be the star of this league since he’s been scoring runs these days as well.

The experienced Shoaib Malik bats way low down the order so we’re leaving him out of our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) GG vs JK fantasy team but instead, pick Rahmanullah Gurbaz who is one of the better world talents right now, recently getting 3 fifties in the Abu Dhabi T10 League. From the local lot, there’s someone who impressed at the 2021 T20 World Cup, and that’s Maheesh Theekshana.
