Top order
Virat Kohli
The Indian captain will walk out at the number three spot to control the flow of the game and dictate terms to the oppositions and there should be no real reason for him to tinker with this composition.
Trending
He is the best player in the team and should take charge of proceedings and then drop the hammer when he believes the time is perfect to step on the accelerator.
Suresh Raina
The southpaw has made an inspired return to the Indian team and looked in good touch in the T20I series against South Africa where he won the man of the match award in the final match.
Along with Kohli, Raina can form the nucleus of the team and serve as the engine for the Indian team.
