Moneyball9 Fantasy Tips: 10 players you should pick in Zimbabwe-India series
The Indian selectors as expected named an inexperienced side for the Zimbabwe tour and some of them will be looking to cement their spots in the limited overs squads in the future. Zimbabwe on the other hand, will look to start off the new season with some impressive performances after changing their backroom staff. What does the future have in store for some of these players? As you sit down to pick your fantasy teams, here are some of the players you must keep an eye on:
Ambati Rayudu
Rayudu has constantly found himself in and out of the side over the years. He had a decent tournament in the IPL with Mumbai Indians but could have certainly done a lot better. Nevertheless, another opportunity has presented itself in this tour and it is time for him to give the selectors headache when they sit down to pick India’s next ODI squad.
He will likely bat at No.5 or could even get to bat at No. 4 and is valued at 6500 in the fantasy. Having already scored a century in this country on his previous tour, you can certainly keep an eye on him and pick him in your side.
Faiz Fazal
The selectors sprung a massive surprise by picking 30-year-old Faiz Fazal for this tour. The call up wasn’t expected by the batsman’s own admission. He didn’t even have an IPL contract but had a good outing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy averaging more than 50 in the tournament. He also scored a century in Rest of India’s stunning chase against Ranji Champions Mumbai recently.
He is likely to open the batting in Zimbabwe and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for him if he goes on to have a good outing. He costs 6500 rupees in the fantasy.
