Dream11 Fantasy Team
Our choice of wicketkeeper batsman is a no-brainer. Quinton De Kock has no competition.
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav walk into the team as batsmen. We have ignored the claims of players like Rana and Tiwary. We were tempted to choose Morgan, but we cannot have more than four overseas players. Ishan Kishan is another player we would have liked to include but he is listed as a wicketkeeper, ruling him out for selection in our Dream 11.
For our all-rounder spots, Hardik Pandya and Pollard are automatic choices. We went with Russell as our third choice, ignoring Shakib who has returned to cricket after a hiatus.
Bumrah and Boult were automatic choices as bowlers. We needed to select two more players from KKR. We went with Krishna and Chahar, ignoring the claims of Varun Chakravarthy who is returning from injury.
For our captaincy choice, we went with De Kock whose wicketkeeping is a bonus. For vice-captain, we looked no further than Gill who is the mainstay of the KKR batting and scores consistently.
Our dream 11 reads as follows: De Kock, Sharma, Gill, Yadav, Russell, Hardik, Pollard, Bumrah, Boult, Chahar, Krishna
