Today's SA vs IND Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Quinton de Kock is a man for all formats, and will want to contribute to his team's success. The wicketkeeper batter can fetch you points with the bat as well as from behind the stumps. He is much more experienced than Rishabh Pant, and should be there in your Dream11 team ahead of the Indian.

Batters

Virat Kohli is one of the world's elite red-ball batters, but he has been out of form in recent times. He will look to score in bulk for his team during the first Test against South Africa.

All-rounders

Ravichandran Ashwin is undoubtedly the best all-rounder from both teams, and will have a lot on his shoulders due to the absence of Ravindra Jadeja.

The Indian off-spinner was adjudged the Player of the Series during the home series against New Zealand. Ashwin is expected to continue his fine form when India take on South Africa on Sunday.

Bowlers

With Anrich Nortje unavailable, India's Jasprit Bumarh is the best bowler from the lot. The Indian speedster is returning to the side after being rested in the series against New Zealand. He was in fine touch against England, and will look to continue his brilliant exploits in overseas conditions.
