TFG Fantasy Pundit: Fantasy cricket tips for WI v IND 1st ODI in Trinidad

Overview 

India might experiment with their squad and you could see a surprise change or two. On the other hand, the WIndies have only 13 players to pick from. The weather is set to be fine in Trinidad and the wicket might play sluggish. Nonetheless, we would pick more Indian players for this opening ODI. 

Probable 11 

WI- Lewis, K Powell, Carter, Hope, Mohammad, Holder, Chase, R Powell/Wiliams, Cummins, Nurse, Joseph

IND- Dhawan, Rahane, Kohli, Yuvraj, Jadhav/Pant, Dhoni, Pandya, Jadeja, Umesh, Shami/Kuldeep, Bhuvi 

Players who cannot be missed 

Kohli- Regardless of the controversies, you cannot be playing without this champion batsmen. Just look at his numbers and you will be sensible to understand why we keep persisting with him. 

Dhawan- Has been going through a dream run lately. Was the batsman of the series in the Champs trophy. Could continue his purple patch in the Caribbean. 

Bhuvi- Will open the bowling for India and given his recent run in the ODIs, he is going to get a few crucial wickets with the new and old ball. 

Lewis- Will open the batting for his team and likes to go hard in the powerplay. Might not be very consistent but can certainly strike big on his day. 

Stats 

Kohli- With an average of almost 55 per game in the ODIs, he is arguably the best in this format. Last five ODIs- 5, 96*, 76*, 0, 81*. 

Bhuvaneshawar- Has taken 68 wickets in 64 games and has also picked up 7 wickets in his last 5 games. Also, has an impressive economy of under 5.
