Today’s TAD vs BT Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Andre Fletcher is a hard-hitter who has the potential to play long shots. His ability to clear the ropes will be tested at this venue. Fletcher had scored 151 runs in six games last season.
Batters
Faf du Plessis is still going strong despite being in the twilight years of his career. The former South African skipper amassed 633 runs in IPL 2021 and finished second in the race for the Orange Cap. Du Plessis had an average of 45.21 and was one of the primary reasons behind CSK’s title-winning run.
Paul Stirling is an accomplished white-ball batter. He had an excellent season last time around and ended up scoring 209 runs in nine games. Stirling had an excellent strike rate of 229.67.
All-rounders
Liam Livingstone has a terrific record in the shortest format of the sport and he will be hoping to translate that into T10 cricket. Livingstone was also sensational in the recently concluded T20 World Cup and was influential with both the bat as well as the ball.
Bowlers
Sheldon Cottrell is a lethal bowler who packs a lot of pace and power in his bowling. Although he can prove to be expensive at times, he also knows how to get the job done and take wickets consistently.
