Today’s IND vs WI Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran is one of the most explosive batters in the world, with his ability to tee off from ball one being noteworthy. He has shown glimpses of his ability in the last week or so, but is due for a big score. Given his experience and the conditions on offer, Pooran is one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma started the T20I series with a fine fifty at the top of the order, taking on the bowling in the powerplay phase. Apart from his recent form, Rohit is an outstanding white-ball batter, known for his knack for scoring big runs. With the Indian captain having a good record against the Windies, he is a decent addition to your IND vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya didn't have the best of outings at the Brian Lara Stadium last week, coming up short with both the bat and ball. However, he remains a valuable asset given his all-round skill and ability to score quick runs in the middle overs. With the Indian all-rounder likely to have a big say in the outcome of the game, he is a must-have in your IND vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Obed McCoy: Obed McCoy proved to be expensive in the previous game, but showed glimpses of his skill-set in the death overs. A skiddy bowler who has effective variations to fall back on, McCoy is known for his death-bowling prowess. With the conditions also playing into this hands, McCoy could be backed to put in a good performance in the game.
