1. Openers:

With the successful new opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal Indian team was able to put a massive score in front of West Indies team. Both batsmen scored a ton in last match and have been in sublime form and will once again look to give their team a solid start.

India possesses a formidable middle-order line-up comprising Shubhman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane making it essential to include them in your Dream11 team. Their ability to score runs under pressure is a valuable asset.

The West Indies will heavily rely on the skilled Raymond Riefer, Jermaine Blackwood, and A Athanaze in the middle order. Including these talented cricketers in your Dream11 team can maximize your chances of scoring well.
