Top Picks for IND vs SL Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– India

Virat Kohli has scored 8007 runs in 100 Test matches at an average of 50.36 which includes 27 hundreds and a highest score of 254. He looked in good touch in the previous match despite getting out on 45 and will look to put up a big score in this match.

Ravichandran Ashwin went past Kapil Dev in the previous match by picking up 436 wickets in his 85th Test. The off spinner will be India’s best bowler in this match and also is pretty handy with the bat having amassed 2905 runs.

Top Picks ­– Sri Lanka

Dimuth Karunaratne is a very experienced player and has scored 5509 runs in 75 Tests at an average of 39 which includes 13 hundreds. The Sri Lankan captain will be hoping to lead from the front.

Suranga Lakmal will be playing his last Test match and the Sri Lankan pacer has been terrific in this format picking up 170 wickets in 69 matches and can be expected to do well with the pink ball.

IND vs SL Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Suggested Playing XI No.1 for IND vs SL Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Rohit Sharma(c), Mayank Agarwal, Hanuma Vihari, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja (c), Ravichandran Ashwin (vc), Angelo Mathews, Suranga Lakmal, Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Embuldeniya

Rohit Sharma(vc), Mayank Agarwal, Charith Asalanka, Virat Kohli (c), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Dhananjaya De Silva, Lahiru Kumara, Jasprit Bumrah, Vishwa Fernando

IND vs SL Risky Captaincy Choices:

Although the Bangalore track isn’t expected to provide a lot of assistance to pacers, Jasprit Bumrah can inflict some significant damage. Selecting him as the skipper could be risky but effective.

Dhananjaya De Silva can contribute points in both departments and he might be someone you can risk as a captaincy choice. If he bowls a lot more he could be a game changer.

Player you should avoid:

Lahiru Thirimanne has been dismissed 6 times by Ashwin and he will face the stiff challenge of facing new ball bowlers of India, so avoid picking him for this match.
