Player Picks
Suryakumar Yadav IND | BAT
India skipper and the World No. 2 T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav smashed a blistering half-century in the first T20I against Sri Lanka. He scored 58 runs off just 26 balls, with a brilliant strike rate of 223.07, hitting 8 fours and 2 sixes. He can be selected among one of the top captaincy picks in the fantasy team.
Matheesha Pathirana SL | BOWL
Young Sri Lanka pacer Matheesha Pathirana was quite expensive in the T20I series opener against India as conceded 40 runs in his quota of 4 overs. But still, he ended up as the only bowler to claim a four-wicket haul in the match. Considering his brilliant bowling skills, he can also be selected as one of the captaincy picks.
Rishabh Pant IND | WK
Star India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant also displayed a brilliant run of form with the bat in the first T20I, scoring 49 runs off 33 balls, hitting 6 fours and a six. He can be picked among one of the top picks in the fantasy team.
Pathum Nissanka SL | BAT
Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka was in an amazing touch with the bat in the first game against India. He scored 79 runs off just 48 balls, with a strike rate of 164.58, hitting 7 fours and 4 amazing sixes. He can also be selected as one of the top picks in the fantasy team.
Kusal Mendis SL | WK
Star Sri Lanka opener Kusal Mendis was in a brilliant run of form in the last game against the men in blue. He smashed 45 runs off just 27 balls, with a strike rate of 166.66, hitting 7 fours and a six.
Riyan Parag IND | BAT
The young Indian batting all-rounder showed amazing promise with the ball in the first game against the Islanders. He scalped 3 wickets at the cost of just 3 runs in only 1.2 overs.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Hardik Pandya
IND | ALL
India’s World T20 2024 star, Hardik Pandya couldn’t live up to the expectations in the first T20I of the three-match series against Sri Lanka. He could score only 9 runs of 9 balls, with only one four. So, it would be a better move to avoid him from the fantasy team.
Ravi Bishnoi
IND | BOWL
Young Indian leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi went very expensive in the first match against the hosts; he conceded 37 runs in his four-over spell and could scalp only one wicket. So, he can also be avoided from the fantasy team for this match.
