IND vs HK Dream11 match top picks for Asia Cup 2022
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
KL Rahul (57 matches, 1831 runs, strike rate: 142.38)
KL Rahul had a woeful outing against Pakistan, getting out for a golden duck. Although his recent form has not been great, Rahul is an elite T20I opener with an average of 39.80. Given Hong Kong's relatively weak bowling attack, Rahul could be backed to return to runscoring form.
Top Batter Pick
Rohit Sharma (133 matches, 3499 runs, Average: 31.52)
Rohit Sharma has a decent record in Dubai with a T20I strike rate of 147.1. His hunger for runs is well-known with 31 50-plus scores to his name. With the Indian captain due a for big knock, he is a must-have in your IND vs HK Dream11 fantasy team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Hardik Pandya (33(17) and 3/25 vs Pakistan in the previous match)
Hardik Pandya was the talk of the town with a match-winning performance against Pakistan. He has been in brilliant form of late, scoring 281 runs at a strike rate of 140 and picking up eight wickets in 2022. Given the conditions on offer, Pandya should be a top-pick for this game.
Top Bowler Pick
Arshdeep Singh (7 matches, 11 wickets, Average: 14.91)
Arshdeep Singh has become a dependable option for India, averaging 14.91 in seven matches with the ball. Arshdeep also boasts an economy rate of just 6.69 despite bowling in the death overs. He also has a good record in Dubai, picking up 17 wickets, including a fifer, in seven IPL matches for the Punjab Kings.
IND vs HK match captain and vice-captain choices for Asia Cup 2022
Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal went wicketless against Pakistan, but has been in good form all year, picking up 15 wickets in 11 T20Is at an average of 23.90. The Hong Kong batters were scratchy against spin, scoring less than seven runs an over. Given Chahal's experience and ability, he could be a brilliant captaincy option for your IND vs HK Dream11 fantasy team.
Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is a celebrated batter with a wealth of experience under his belt. While he is due for a big knock, he could not have asked for a better opposition than Hong Kong. Given the opposition bowling attack and the conditions, Rohit could be backed to make an impact as a captaincy pick in your fantasy team.
