– Jos Buttler and Ishan Kishan looks safest C/VC choices considering their top form of the last match and good numbers in H2H matches.

– Suryakumar Yadav might be a good pick considering his batting average of approx 40 in more than 10 H2H Innings.
– Tim David might be a decent punt as he can come handy with bat if a couple of top order batters depart early.
– Prasidh krishna or Tymal Mills can be picked at the place of Shimron Hetmyer based on bowling first scenario.
– Taking punt on Daniel Sams as he can come handy with bat and bowling full four overs.

– Sanju Samson looks another good captain choice as he looked in terrific touch during the last match.
– Dropping Ishan Kishan as he might not go big in two consecutive innings considering his recent inconsistent form.
– Yashasvi Jaiswal might be a decent credit saver pick as he can score some quick runs by opening up the innings.
– Take anyone from Tymal Mills or Prasidh krishna whoever gets to bowl in first innings.
– Expecting a couple of wickets again from Chahal considering his bowling strike rate of just 16 in H2H games which makes him a good VC choice.
