Virat Kohli – 11
This man needs no introduction! The most prolific limited overs batsman in the world, priced 11, has to be in the team, no matter what. Kohli scored a fluent fifty and a century in the ODI series, but more than that, his form in T20 cricket warrants selection in itself. No player has been as prolific in the shortest format as Kohli was in 2016.
He breached a new barrier in the IPL last year and ended up with 973 runs, collecting the player of the tournament in the T20 World Cup as well. He averaged a staggering 106 in T20 internationals last year and one can expect him to continue that dominance in the format yet again.
