Don’t ignore importance of fielding
One of the most ignored aspects while playing fantasy cricket is fielding. With 15 points for a catch, 20 for a stumping, and 15 for a run-out, fielders can get you points by the dozen!
Both the Indian and English sides boast a number of quality fielders, who will be placed at important positions on the field in order to grab a catch or cause a run-out. From England, Ben Stokes, Sam Billings and Jason Roy are the ones to note as all three are live wires in the field. Roy is one player who can latch on to some of the most amazing catches.
In India, captain Kohli leads by example on the field. However, the players occupying crucial places on the field will be Rahane, Hardik Pandya, and Ravindra Jadeja. One cannot forget the impact that Indian wicketkeeper, MS Dhoni will have, as he still is, arguably, the fastest behind the wickets and never drops catches.
As both teams battle it out on the field, fantasy team owners will be looking to make the strongest XI and battle it out on Oye Captain.
