Fantasy Cricket: Dream11 tips for 1st Test between India & Sri Lanka

Overview 

India will take on Sri Lanka in the first test of the three-match series tomorrow at the Eden Gardens. On the weather front, some thunder showers are expected for the first three days in Kolkata. 

As far as the wicket goes, we have seen decent batting conditions for the first two days historically. So, we don't expect too many surprises there. 

On the team combination front, we believe that India will be more tempted to play 5 specialist bowlers, given how it has given them great success in the past. On the flip side, they could also think of playing Rohit Sharma, who has a great record at the Eden. 

We also feel that Indian batsmen and bowler are going to dominate the test. So, as far as picking a fantasy cricket team is concerned, you should pick at least 6 blokes from India. 

Meanwhile, the Lankans have a new look side and they will be drawing confidence from their famous win the UAE over Pakistan. It remains to be seen whether they play the extra batsman or a bowler. 

India's Test specialists return and you shouldn't be playing this game without Pujara, Ashwin and Jadeja under any circumstance. Remember, for the tourists, Angelo Mathews won't be contributing with the ball.
