Fantasy Picks for the GT vs MI Match
Captain : Archer
This wicket will best suit Archer, who loves bowling shorter balls. Also, his speed will be a nightmare for any GT batter.
Vice captain : Shami
Shami’s excellent death over bowling would have given him high hopes. And remember, he was already bowling well. On this wicket, he is the right choice of vice-captain.
Batters : R Sharma, T Varma, David, Gill
Rohit, David, and Gill are excellent batters of pace. The pull shots are their strength. They can’t be missed out on this wicket.
T Varma is making statements with his every performance. He will enjoy playing on this wicket against quality bowling.
Wicketkeeper: I Kishan
A fine striker of the new ball. And also the one who would set the powerplay on fire. He has been in good touch lately. So it’s better to go with him as a keeper.
All rounders : C Green, H Pandya
Both bats top of the order and bowl almost their full quota. According to the conditions, they both are excellent choices.
Bowlers : P Chawla, Archer, M Shami, Rashid
Both Rashid and Chawla have been the strike bowlers for their sides. They are game changers with their different variations.
