Top 3 Dream11 captaincy picks for IND vs NZ, Match 12, ICC Champions Trophy 2025

1. Shubman Gill

Without a doubt, Shubman Gill will be the first choice to select as captain for IND vs NZ Dream11 teams. His scores in the last five ODI innings are 87, 60, 112, 101*, and 46. Gill is in red-hot form and is making sure that he is converting his starts to big scores.

He is good against both spin and pace and makes sure that the run rate keeps ticking along. Gill can be an ideal choice if you are searching for a captain for the IND vs NZ Dream11 teams.

2. Rachin Ravindra

Stylish Kiwi all-rounder Rachin Ravindra slammed a ton on his ICC Champions Trophy debut. He slammed 112 off 105 balls against Bangladesh when the ball was moving around. The southpaw has shown a great maturity since he has started playing in the top order.

In fact, his numbers in the ICC ODI tournaments are incredible. He is also a good player of spin, which may help him do well against Indian spinners, which makes him the right guy to have as a captain on fantasy cricket platforms. In Dubai, spinners are getting help, and we might see him roll his arm over as well.

3. Axar Patel

Axar Patel can be an underrated player to make captain in Dream11 teams. India are making sure that he bats ahead of KL Rahul as India have right-handers in the top-order. He has done well with the bat in recent times. Moreover, New Zealand have two left-arm spinners in their lineup, which is one thing that indicates that he might bat up the order.

Then, his 10 overs in the middle will be very crucial. He has overshadowed Ravindra Jadeja in both departments. His utility with bat and ball makes him the right choice to make captain for the IND vs NZ Dream11 teams. Not to forget, he can earn points while fielding as well.
