TFG Fantasy Picks for IND vs AUS
India
Rohit Sharma’s attacking ability in the first 10 overs is highly beneficial for the team to set up a big score on the board. His aggressive approach is unsettling for the opposition and the kind of pressure he puts on the opponent with his ball striking ability is immense .
Shubnam Gill is known to give a quick- fire start in the power play. His gap-finding ability in the middle overs, his ability to play spin and rotate strike makes him a must-have in the fantasy team.
Virat Kohli provides you with stability at the top order. In case of wickets falling quickly up at the top Virat offers a sense of calm and his ability to play all around the wicket makes it difficult for the opposition to set a field for him. His presence at the crease is very intimidating for the Bowlers.
