Johnson Charles is the leading run-scorer for the Sharjah Warriors in the ongoing ILT20 2024 and has amassed 151 runs in three games at an average of 50.33. He has already hit 14 boundaries and nine maximums so far and looks in great form.

Charles missed out in the Warriors’ last game against the MI Emirates. He was knocked over by Akeal Hosein on one in the very first over. Despite that, he is a good pick as captain or vice-captain for your Dream11 side for the VIP vs SJH clash.
