IND vs SL: 5 Indian players you must have in your Dream11 team during ODI series

IND vs SL three-match ODI series will start on August 2, with all games taking place in Colombo.

Team India and Sri Lanka recently played a three-match T20I series, which the visitors won 3-0 whitewashing the hosts. Next, these two teams will lock horns in a three-match ODI series, which will kick off on August 2. All three ODIs are scheduled to be played in Colombo. Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team.

The series will see the likes of Rohit, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul return to action, whereas Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja are rested.

After winning the T20I series, India will look to win the ODI series as well. Some big names will be in action in the series. Hence, we will discuss the five Indian players whom you should pick in your Dream11 team for the IND vs SL ODI series.

Here are the five Indian stars you must have in your Dream11 team during the IND vs SL ODI series:

5. Axar Patel

Axar Patel will be a key player on the spinning pitch in Colombo. He is an effective spinner on such surfaces and can give India 2-3 wickets. Adding to that, his batting has improved significantly, which makes him a complete package in white-ball cricket. That’s why he is a very important player in your Dream11 side, and you can even pick him as a vice-captain.

4. Kuldeep Yadav

Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav is back after being rested from the IND vs SL T20I series. Kuldeep will be the biggest threat for the Sri Lankan batters given his mystery and the spin-aiding pitch in Colombo. He is the spinner to watch out for in this series. So he is a must-have bowler in your Dream11 team.

3. Shubman Gill

The Indian vice-captain is in good form. He was the top-scorer in the T20Is in Zimbabwe and played an anchoring innings in the third T20I against Sri Lanka. He is an excellent batter against spinners, and that’s what will come into play in the coming IND vs SL ODIs.

Gill has excellent numbers in 50-over cricket and he will look to continue on it. Hence, he can be a great option if you are searching for a vice-captain or captain for your Dream11 team.

2. Rohit Sharma

The Indian captain has been in great form in international cricket this year. In white-ball cricket, he has set an aggressive batting template for Team India. Rohit is expected to continue his aggressive approach in the ODIs, and if he clicks, he will win you a big prize on fantasy cricket platforms. And the way he is performing consistently, he is certainly a batter you should pick; you can also pick him as captain or vice-captain of your Dream11 teams.

1. Virat Kohli

Some may argue about the current form of Virat Kohli, as he had only one good innings in the T20 World Cup 2024, which came in the final. But the ODIs are his forte, and his mind works as a computer when it comes to this format.

Adding to that, Virat has scored four centuries in his last five innings at R. Premadasa Stadium. So these stats are enough to pick him as the captain of your Dream11 team during IND vs SL ODIs.
