Top Picks for IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
IND
Rishabh Pant didn’t get that big score but he was consistent for most part of the IPL. The left-handed wicket-keeper batter scored 340 runs while striking at 151.78.
Shreyas Iyer is likely to bat at No. 3 in this series. He was the man of the series against Sri Lanka earlier this year when he struck three fifties in as many games. Overall, he has scored 229 runs in four T20Is in 2022. Thus, he could be a solid pick as fantasy captain.
Hardik Pandya made a stellar comeback in the 2022 edition of the IPL. The Baroda all-rounder scored 487 runs and also picked up eight wickets. Thus, he could be an effective choice as vice-captain.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is a right-handed opening batsman and is known for his cricketing shots. He has made decent contributions with the bat in the recently concluded IPL. With the kind of form he is in, we can expect the runs to flow from Gaikwad’s bat at the top.
Yuzvendra Chahal was exceptional in the IPL 2022 with his spin bowling. Chahal ended up as the highest wicket taker of this edition of IPL with 27 scalps. We can expect the same performance from him in this game too.
Harshal Patel has been in terrific form with the ball in the last 12 to 15 months. He was the Purple Cap winner in the IPL 2021 (32 wickets) before he took 19 wickets in the 2022 season.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is an experienced pacer and can also score some runs with the bat as well. Considering his ability to impact the game, you would not miss him in any single fantasy team.
