– Glenn Maxwell might be a good captain choice considering his three down batting and a couple of overs with bowl.
– Taking punt on Axar Patel as VC who’s batting at middle order and bowling atleast three overs with the bowl.
– Expecting a top knock from Faf Du Plessis after getting out early in last four consecutive innings.
– Can take David Warner at the place of Prithvi Shaw by replacing Rishabh Pant with Dinesh Karthik.
– Lalit Yadav might be a decent pick considering his middle order batting and part time overs with bowl.
– Shardul Thakur might come handy with both bat and ball which makes him another decent punt.
– Kuldeep Yadav can be picked at the place of Wanindu Hasaranga especially while bowling in first innings.

– Virat Kohli might be another good captain choice considering his batting average of 77 in 16 Innings at this venue.
– Taking risk on Faf Du Plessis as VC since he’s due to play a top knock from last four Innings which might come in this match.
– Shahbaz Ahmed looks another decent punt considering his couple of overs with bowl and batting at 2-3 down.
– Expecting Mohammad Siraj to stay amongst the wickets after going without one in last three consecutive innings.
– Try dropping Prithvi Shaw for any middle order batter in risky SL combination as he might not go big in three consecutive innings.
– Must try Josh Hazlewood as C/VC in 10-20-339 members league especially while bowling in second innings.

– Can take anyone from Rovman Powell or Sarfaraz Khan since they will be crucial if top order batters depart early.
– Must try Shardul Thakur as C/VC in a couple of GL combinations especially while batting in first innings.
– Harshal Patel will be a default pick in both SL & GL combo if he’s available to feature in this match.
