Top 4 Batsman Picks
1) Rohit Sharma – He has improved his game by being more technically sound, having a better awareness of his off-stump, a more compact approach, and a higher level of patience. His repertoire of hard-hitting shots in his arsenal will be vastly useful for his team.
Matches – 356
Runs – 9446
Average – 31.91
2) Virat Kohli – When the circumstances call for it, he is known to be highly lethal with his agile footwork against the spinners. He is known as an aggressive batter who is always looking for runs, and he possesses a reasonably decent technique that allows him to judge the length of the ball earlier than most batsmen.
Matches – 319

Runs – 5468
Average – 43.39
Top 4 Bowler Picks
1) Jasprit Bumrah – Bumrah is a right-arm fast bowler with an unusual sling-arm movement and natural pace, and his deliveries have a distinctive release point that makes it difficult for batsmen to pick him out.
Matches – 186
Wickets – 230
Economy – 7.06
2) Mohammad Shami – In his career, the right-arm fast bowler has provided regular yet lethal spells as India’s leading pacer. He’s also had a surprising amount of success with his batting.
Matches – 112
Wickets – 130
Economy – 8.30
3) Shaheen Afridi – There is no disputing Shaheen Afridi’s frighteningly limitless potential. Afridi, like his famous namesake, is blessed with a tall gangly frame and the ability to bowl really fast. He can also strike the ball hard with his good batting skills.
Matches – 96
Wickets – 130
Economy – 7.83
4) Haris Rauf – He is fiery with his T20 skills and has bowled phenomenal spells in the warm-up matches. He is full of great potential and is in excellent form to play this match.

Top 2 All-rounder Picks
1) Ravindra Jadeja – The slow left-arm orthodox spinner and the left-handed batsman has good control over his deliveries and his spell has a lot of subtle variants. He is a wise pick for the upcoming match.
Matches – 268
Runs – 2813
Average – 25.11
Wickets – 177
Economy – 7.61
2) Mohammad Hafeez – His lean spells on the front foot combined with a high elbow gives route to a peaceful cover drive. When Hafeez is at work, a tuck or a clip off the pads looks just as good. As do the flat darts, which are difficult to score in the limited-overs. He stands at the point to intervene in the fiery cut shots to round up his repertoire.
