IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction Today:

Captaincy picks:

Rohit Sharma:

Captain Rohit Sharma has been in an inspiring form at the moment. He single-handedly guided India to winning totals in the last two games against Australia and England and would be looking to lead his team from the front again. After smashing 92 against Australia, the captain scored 57 against England on a tough batting pitch.

Kagiso Rabada:

South Africa will be relying on their pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada to deal with India’s formidable batting attack. The star pacer is in good form as well. In 8 games so far, he has picked up 12 wickets while maintaining an economy-rate of less than 6.

Top picks:

Kuldeep Yadav:

Kuldeep Yadav can turn out to be India’s trump card in the final. In spin friendly conditions of the Caribbeans, the left-arm spinner can make a big impact. In the semifinal against England, he had picked up 3 wickets and would be looking to have a good outing again.

Marco Jansen:

Marco Jansen is coming into this game after delivering a Player of the Match performance against Afghanistan in the semifinal. The left-arm pacer had picked up 3 wickets for just 16 runs and would be eyeing a similar if not better performance in the final as well.
