Wicket-Keeper
R.Pant (9.0 Cr) did not get a chance to showcase his batting skills however he was able to find his contributions behind the stumps which should improve with a push-up in the batting lineup for this series.
Batsman
R.Sharma (10 Cr) will be the captain of his team and should be able to continue with a solid performance seen in the T20 world cup which can lift his spirits to help his team win this contest.
KL Rahul (9.5 Cr) has always been an impressive player on Indian soil which should be the case for this series as the short boundaries could benefit his batting style that makes him our prime choice.
K.Williamson (9.5 Cr) was able to show a brilliant batting performance in the final match with 85 runs with a strike rate of 177.08 which kept them in contention for the finals.
All-rounders
V.Iyer (8.5 Cr) is likely to make his debut for India which seems like a well-deserved spot as he can bat really well and pick wickets under crucial circumstances as seen in the IPL which makes him our prime choice.
D.Mitchell (9.0 Cr) was able to demolish India in their group stage encounter and has since been a crucial batting all-rounder which makes him a potential game-changer.
Bowlers
Y.Chahal (9.0 Cr) should also be able to make the most of his game time after missing out on the T20 world cup even after a crucial performance in the IPL which should keep him confident.
R.Ashwin (8.5 Cr) has the potential to help the lower batting order which is just a bonus to his fantastic spin bowling that has earned him wickets and gives him an advantage on Indian soil.
A.Khan (8.0 Cr) has been an impressive addition to the squad which should keep him charged to make his mark on his debut after a splendid performance in the IPL.
T.Boult (9.0 Cr) was able to pick 2 crucial wickets in the T20 World Cup final and has been decisive with his contributions which should allow him to repeat his performance from his group stage match.
I.Sodhi (9.0 Cr) holds great potential but was well defended in the finals by the Australian batting side which should allow him to find new tricks that can help his bowling on this pitch.
Dream11 Team Prediction Captain and Vice-Captain
KL.Rahul will be our captain because of his consistent batting performance which should be pushed to regain their confidence after losing to NZ in the group stage.
V.Iyer will be our vice-captain because of his ability to score runs and find brilliant fielding spots that can keep him pumped for his debut.
