Both teams have a star-studded line-up with players that can wreck havoc from the word go, hence one needs to select the bowlers carefully. If you aren't sure what the best team would be, then we can help you select the right combination.
Kohli the right choice for the captaincy role
When you have Virat Kohli in fray, he should definitely be given the captaincy. At number three in the batting line-up, Kohli brings his hunger for runs and can fetch you maximum points. Brendon McCullum and KL Rahul are the best candidates to open the batting. The duo can take the game away under any circumstances and you should go ahead with them.
AB, Nair and two star-studded all-rounders
AB de Villiers at number four is a dream act. ABD's fielding ability gives him a plus point as well. Karun Nair showed his capabilities in the first game and the in-form player can be pivotal once again. Besides the two middle-order batsmen, two all-rounders come in at number 6 and 7. The ideal choices are Marcus Stoinis (vice-captain) and Chris Woakes.
Spin can be your call
R Ashwin makes the number eight spot in the team. The Punjab skipper is an excellent choice, who can pick wickets. After Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal follows suit. The wrist spinner is a wicket-taking delight. Umesh Yadav lit up Eden with some serious pace and he is the ideal candidate to come in at number 10. Mohit Sharma fills the last vacant slot.
