– Lokesh Rahul looks safest captain choice considering his current lethal form with bat and excellent numbers at venue & H2H matches.
– Glenn Maxwell might be a good VC choice considering his two down batting and a couple of overs with the bowl.
– Expecting atleast decent knocks from Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli since they’re due to play one.
– Marcus Stoinis might be a decent pick as he’s batting at two down and bowling a couple of overs too.
– Taking punt on Shahbaz Ahmed who’s available in 8.5 credits, batting at middle order and bowling part time overs.
– Expecting Harshal Patel to remain amongst the wickets after going without one during the last match.

– Taking punt on Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis as C/VC since they might go big after getting out early in last couple of Innings.
