WI vs IND Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper - Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan batted well in the last match while opening the innings. He looks like a good pick along with the West Indian skipper Shai Hope.
Batter - Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma has a good record against West Indies. He batted down the order in the last match and played a short cameo. But this time if the situation demands, Sharma might come up the order and then he might turn out to be a match-winner.
All-rounder - Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja did a great job with the ball picking up three wickets. He also played a shirt but important knock with the bat taking India across the line. Jadeja's overall form makes him a must-pick from the all-rounder section.
Bowler - Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav did a great job in the last match with the ball. He picked up four wickets and destroyed the West Indian batting line-up. Once again, Kuldeep is going to be a trump card for the visitors and he is a sure-shot pick for the match.
WI vs IND match captain and vice-captain choices
Rohit Sharma
As mentioned earlier, Rohit Sharma enjoy batting against the West Indians. If India bats first or has to chase a formidable total, Sharma will be seen opening the innings once again. If he comes to bat in the top order, he might well turn out to be a match-winner for India and hence keeping him as the captain or vice-captain will be a good option.
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja showed good all-round form in the last match. With the second ODI being played at the same venue, it is expected that Jadeja will once again play a key role as a bowler. His batting might also be of great importance if India somehow lands into any sort of trouble. So, Jadeja looks like the safest bet to take as the captain or vice-captain of the match.
