Image Source: Bhaskar.com[/caption] Internet Desk: The Fantasy League of the Indian Premier League season ten, has no doubt been one of the most exciting fan zone activities so far. The fantasy league has no doubt made the tournament much more exciting from the fans' perspectives. Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly has been the latest to name his side on Twitter. 'Dada' struck a balance between big names and consistent players in his XI that includes Virat Kohli and Nitish Rana but interestingly didn't pick MS Dhoni, Samju Samson, Yuzavendra Chahal and Jaspreet Bumrah. The team as expected got mixed reactions from the fans. The fans also questioned the unavailability of a quality "fifth bowler" in his fantasy squad. But this is the fun of the fantasy games as different individuals have different choices. Though Ganguly appeared to have found the perfect match of batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders in his IPL Fantasy League XI. It includes big names like Kohli and Steve Smith but, more importantly, it also features consistent players such as Rishav Pant, Manish Pandey and Nitish Rana.
