SA vs IND: 5 Indian players you must have in your Dream11 team
The four-match SA vs IND T20I series will begin on November 8 at Kingsmead in Durban.
Team India and South Africa will lock horns in a four-match T20I series from November 8 to 15. The two sides will be facing each other for the first time since the final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
Suryakumar Yadav will be leading the T20 world champs, while Aiden Markram will lead the hosts. India have been playing a new-look T20I side since the T20 World Cup.
Plenty of Indian players have eked out excitement among the fans and they will be playing for the first time on South African soil. Below, we will discuss the five Indian players whom you should pick in your Dream11 team for the SA vs IND T20I series.
Here are the five Indian stars you must have in your Dream11 team during the SA vs IND T20I series:
5. Abhishek Sharma
An opener gets the opportunity to face more balls than other batsmen, which is why Abhishek Sharma is a must-have in your Dream11 team. The southpaw had a below-par series against Bangladesh: he scored 35 runs and took one wicket in three T20Is.
But, he was at his blistering best in the ACC Emerging T20 Asia Cup 2024 for India A. He can also bowl, which is an additional advantage. So, you can have him in your fantasy team for the SA vs IND T20I series.
4. Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson slammed India’s second-fastest T20I hundred in the third T20I against Bangladesh and scored 150 runs in three T20Is at a strike rate of 205. He showed an amazing display of power hitting during his century. The conditions in South Africa are expected to suit his batting style of hitting across the line.
He is also a first-choice keeper in this squad, which can add more value in fantasy cricket platforms. That is why he can be an ideal candidate for your Dream11 team’s vice-captain role.
3. Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh is the leader of India’s fast-bowling attack on this tour. He has been phenomenal in his T20I career so far and has been India’s go-to bowler in all phases of the game when Jasprit Bumrah is absent.
Arshdeep can take wickets with both the new and the old ball, which makes him the best bowler to choose for your Dream11 team.
2. Suryakumar Yadav
The Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has been in red-hot form, and he is the best batter for the visitors. Suryakumar likes hitting when the ball comes to the bat nicely, and the captaincy role has not affected his batting.
Suryakumar is a must-have pick in your fantasy team in T20 cricket. He slammed a brilliant fifty in the third game against Bangladesh, scoring 75 off 35 balls. He is a great captaincy option for your Dream11 team for the SA vs IND T20I series.
1. Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya is someone you can’t drop from your fantasy team. He is a key member of the white-ball teams as he provides great balance to the XI.
Hardik was the Player of the Series against Bangladesh in T20Is for his 118 runs at a strike rate of 222 and one wicket with the ball. Pandya can be the captain of your Dream11 team in the upcoming series.
