IND vs NEP Dream11 Match Top Picks

Wicketkeeper - Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan looked in great touch in the last match. Given the on-paper outlook of the Nepal bowling attack, the Indian team management might send him to bat higher in the batting order to let him spend more time in the middle.

Batter - Shubman Gill

The right-handed batter has lately struggled with his form. But this will be the right match where Gill can spend some time in the middle and look to get his mojo back.

All-rounder - Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja is someone who can change the complexion of a match with both the bat and the ball. He failed to deliver in the previous game and will be eager to bring the best out in himself in this game.

Bowler - Mohammad Siraj

Siraj has both pace and swing in his favour. We have seen the Nepali batters struggling against Shaheen Shah Afridi. Keeping that fact in mind, Siraj becomes a very important pick for the game.

IND vs NEP match captain and vice-captain choices

Mohammad Siraj

Mohammad Siraj will be a great and differential pick for the match as a captain or vice-captain. It is expected that the Nepali batters will struggle against him and that makes him a brilliant point multiplier for the game.

Shubman Gill

Gill has not been at his best in recent times. But against a relatively weaker bowling attack, he might fire. Not many users will select him as the captain or vice-captain given his recent form. So he might be a high-return choice for the game.
