Champions Trophy Fantasy Tips: Fantasy Guide for India vs Bangladesh

Fandromeda Fantasy League

Transfer out: Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett, Joe Root, Ben Stokes

Transfer in: Virat Kohli, Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Rohit Sharma/Yuvraj Singh

Now, I already have Shikhar Dhawan, Bhuvi, Ashwin and Mushfiqur Rahim in my side for this game.

Shikhar Dhawan’s inclusion was absolutely necessary because of the form he is in this tournament. There is a marked difference in the way he has been indulging in his stroke play, keeping the bat closer to the body and avoiding all kinds of rash shots. When his blazing fire, you can’t leave him out, can you?

Bhuvi’s early overs swing and quality death bowling makes him a complete bowler, enough to warrant him a place in my side.

Ashwin’s guile is sure to trouble the left handers in the Bangladesh side. His experience would come in handy during the middle overs and would help India stem the flow of runs. And when people try and attack Ashwin, that is when he is at his best.

Mushfiqur Rahim is the only wicketkeeper who bats in the top 4 and hence he seemed like the best choice for me, and seeing how the two wicketkeeper fared yesterday, I think it was the right call.

Virat Kohli would be the first player that I would get into my side. You can’t leave out the big players for the big games, you just can’t. Get him in!

Tamim Iqbal’s record against India in world tournaments in immaculate. And going by his form during this event, he could very well come to the party today as well. A few Indians are still recovering from the ghosts of 2007, and would be reminded of those if Tamim starts striking the ball upfront.

Shakib Al Hasan’s brilliant 100 against New Zealand is a testament of his superior pressure absorbing skills. He is Bangladesh’s best player, and when you have him in the line up, you need to respect that and get him into your side.

Now, for the last pick for this game, I am a little torn between Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh. While logic suggests that I get in Yuvraj, instead of pegging all my money in the top 3, as one of them is bound to fail, but then Rohit has always had a good time against the Bangladeshi pace attack, For this I’ll be using the toss trick, and getting in Rohit Sharma if India bat second and Yuvraj Singh, if India bat first.

I won’t be getting in any other player for this game.

Batting Star: Virat Kohli

Bowling Star: Bhuvi
