South Africa vs India – Dream11 Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: Quinton de Kock is the obvious choice for a spot in the fantasy team given his form over the last few months. Inspite of the new Dream11 restrictions, only one keeper is preferred with MS Dhoni possibly being overshadowed by a stronger top order led by the charismatic Virat Kohli.
Batsmen: Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis are must-haves in any fantasy team regardless of the match and format. Both of them are in decent form as well and have good records in ICC events to bank on. Expect them to get some runs under the belt while Shikhar Dhawan, who has an amazing record in England is also one for the taking. KL Rahul is also a decent option to have in the side.
All-rounders: JP Duminy’s late onslaught just about gives him the nod alongside Hardik Pandya and Andile Phehlukwayo. Both of them are capable of scoring quick runs along with a few wickets as well which make them great options to have in the fantasy side.
Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah and Kagiso Rabada were on song in the 2019 edition of the Indian Premier League and should put in a decent performance on Wednesday. The likes of Imran Tahir and Kuldeep Yadav should extract some turn on what should be a helpful wicket for them. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who could play the game ahead of Mohammad Shami is also a decent option to complete the fantasy team.
Captain: Virat Kohli and Quinton de Kock are decent options considering their form and ability for their respective sides. Along with them, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya is also a worthwhile option for captaincy with his big-hitting abilities being one of the most talked about aspects of IPL 2019.
