IND vs WI: Dream 11 Top Picks
Deepak Hooda: Shreyas Iyer was the designated batter at No 3 when Virat Kohli was rested for the 1st ODI against England. In the limited opportunities that he has got, Iyer has grabbed them with both hands and played some beautiful knocks. His spin play makes him an excellent foil for the middle overs but he will need to work on his short ball play to make a long lasting impact.
Nicholas Pooran: The West Indian captain was the only shining light in the ODI series loss against Bangladesh and has an excellent record against India, a team that he really enjoys playing. His team will need to go big against a very strong Indian batting line up and skipper will have to lead from the front and rally his team around for a strong batting performance and not be victim to another batting collapse.
