Wicket-Keeper
Ishan Kishan (7.5 Cr) will come here after being well-rested in the last series with amazing batting focus which could help him maintain a consistent form in this opening fixture.
Tom Latham (9.0 Cr) was not able to score runs in the last series after managing to score 60 runs in 3 games which should keep him focused on giving his all in this contest.
Batsman
Virat Kohli (9.0 Cr) was also looking strong in the last ODI series against Sri Lanka and will look to showcase his sharp batting skills in this match as our prime choice for this encounter.
Rohit Sharma (8.5 Cr) will be warmed up after the last series and should be able to push with an extra edge coming into his performance in this crucial contest.
Suryakumar Yadav (7.0 Cr) was a part of the last match but couldn’t showcase his batting talents in the game which should keep him focused to return after being rested in the recent matches.
Devon Conway (8.5 Cr) was brilliant in the last series after he was able to score 153 runs in the last 3 matches which can continue to raise confidence levels against tougher opposition.
All-rounders
Hardik Pandya (8.5 Cr) is an incredible contributor who can score runs to help the middle order along with his bowling skills who will aim to retain his form as seen in the T20I World Cup.
Michael Bracewell (7.0 Cr) was able to score 58 runs along with 4 wickets in his last 3 T20I matches which can continue to grow considering his improvements on this pitch.
Bowlers
Mohammed Siraj (8.5 Cr) played a crucial role in the last series which should keep him motivated to add more wickets as seen in the last series that earned him 9 wickets in 3 matches.
Kuldeep Yadav (8.5 Cr) picked 4 wickets in the last 2 ODI matches with his ability to break partnerships and provide amazing control of his skills which makes him a crucial contributor.
