– Jos Buttler looks safest captain choice considering his good form and batting average of above 35 at venue and H2H matches.

– Expecting good knocks from Faf Du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell after getting out very early in last match.
– Mohammad Siraj might be a decent punt at the place of Wanindu Hasaranga if Bangalore gets to bowl in first innings.

– Glenn Maxwell might be another good captain choice considering his two down batting and part time overs with bowl.
– Shimron Hetmyer might come good with bat especially if a couple of top order batters depart early.
– Taking risk on Sanju Samson as VC since he can give some good fantasy points with the help of bat and gloves.
– Trent Boult should be preferred over Prasidh krishna especially while bowling first and vice-versa.
