Fantasy Cricket: TFG Pundit tips for Sri Lanka v India 1st ODI

Overview 

Kohli has confirmed ahead of the game that Rahul will bat in the middle order and that could mean one of Pandey/Jadhav/Rahane will fight for one spot. Also, India should play Kuldeep and there could be a toss up between Chahal and Patel as the second spinner. As far as the hosts go, may be you can take clues from the recently concluded Zimbabwe series. 

Probable 11

IND- Dhawan, Rohit, Virat, Rahul, Ajinkya/Jadhav, Dhoni, Pandya, Kuldeep, A Patel/Chahal, Bhuvi, Bumrah

SRI- Gunathilaka, Dickwella, Tharanga, Mendis, Mathews, Kapugedara, Siriwardena, T Perera, Malinga, Chameera, A Dananjaya

Players who cannot be ignored 

Virat- We all know how is numbers read in this format. Arguably the best going around in the business. 

Dhawan- Has been in tremendous form and should cash in the opportunity in the ODIs too. Drop him at your peril. 

Dickwella- Should open the batting for the hosts with super attacking ability. Will also keep wickets. 

Bhuvi- Always a wicket taker for the men in blue in limited overs cricket. Likely to deliver with new and old ball.
