IRE vs IND Dream11 Match Top Picks

Wicketkeeper - Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson failed to deliver up to the expectations in the West Indies series. However, the last time he came to Ireland, Samson displayed great class and there it might be expected that he gets his mojo back from this match.

Batter - Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad has proven himself throughout the IPL and in the domestic arena. But he has yet failed to deliver on the international stage. But in this series, he is coming in as a vice-captain, which will be a dress rehearsal for his captaincy stint in the Asian Games. So, Gaikwad might look to bat with more responsibility and hence will be a good pick for this game from the batter section

All-rounder - Curtis Campher

Curtis Campher is someone who contributes for his team with both the bat and the ball. He will give you good points in both innings of the match and hence is a good choice for the fantasy contests of this match.

Bowler - Jasprit Bumrah

Jaspirt Bumrah is returning to action after injury. He will be eager to perform in this match and also fulfil his potential as the leader of the team. We all know of his abilities and if he plays to his best, there will be no better pick for this game.
