Team
India once again in shorter format is without seniors, again they have given chance to young players in side. Shubman Gill hasn’t played that kind of knock in T20Is yet as he played in ODIs. Considering his from, he will be player to pick in fantasy team with captaincy choice. Rahul Tripathi is likely to retain his place.
Suryakumar Yadav is someone no one like to exclude from fantasy team. Deepak Hooda and skipper Hardik Pandya are good-finishers, both will be picks with Pandya as bowling option as well.
