What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for BAN vs IND, 1st Test?
Top Pick – Batter
Virat Kohli has scored a century in T20I and ODIs this year and it’s time for him to show his potential in the longest format. In 4 Test matches this year, he has scored 220 runs at an average of 31.42.
Top Pick – All-Rounder
It doesn’t matter which format Shakib Al Hasan is playing, he must be picked for his all-round prowess. In 63 Test matches, he has scored 4251 runs at an average of 39 and picked up 225 wickets with the best figures of 7 for 36 in an innings.
Top Pick – Bowler
Taijul Islam is the go-to-go bowler for Bangladesh in the longest format. He has played only 3 Tests this year where he picked up 14 wickets at an average of 37.92.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Rishabh Pant tops the most run-scorers list in Tests for India this year. In 5 matches, he has notched 532 runs at an average of 66.5 with the highest score of 146. His ability to attack the bowlers in pressure situations makes him unique.
X-Factor:
Ravichandran Ashwin has got an excellent cricketing brain and adjusts himself to the conditions quickly. In 86 Test matches, he has picked up 442 wickets with the best figures of 7 for 59 in an innings and scored 2931 runs at an average of 26.88.
What are the fantasy suggested teams for BAN vs IND, 1st Test?
1. Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Liton Das, Shubman Gill (vc), Shakib Al Hasan, Ravichandran Ashwin (c), Axar Patel, Taijul Islam, Shardul Thakur, Ebadot Hossain
2. Rishabh Pant, Cheteshwar Pujara (c), Lokesh Rahul, Shubman Gill, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shakib Al Hasan (vc), Ravichandran Ashwin, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Mohammed Siraj, Ebadot Hossain
Pre-Match Analysis:
The recent ODI series win has boosted Bangladesh players’ confidence to a greater extent. They are playing a Test after a gap of nearly 6 months. They started this year on a higher note with an away Test win over New Zealand since then lost 6 of the 7 matches played. Their record against India is underwhelming as they are yet to win a Test against them. Shakib Al Hasan will continue to lead the side in the longest format. Since the wicket is expected to be flat they are likely to field 2 seamers and 3 spinners. Former skipper Mominul Haque had an unforgettable year as he averages 13.83 in 7 Tests, will he find a place in the starting eleven we need to wait and watch. Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Najmul Hossain Shanto are expected to open the innings.
India has been badly hit again with injuries. Rohit Sharma will again miss the overseas Test citing injury concerns which means Lokesh Rahul will lead the side in the 1st Test. Abhimanyu Easwaran, Navdeep Saini, Jaydev Unadkat, and Saurabh Kumar have all been added to the squad as replacements. Cheteshwar Pujara keeps his place in the side after his prolific run in county cricket and named as the deputy to Lokesh Rahul for the opening Test. Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin are the mainstream all-rounders in the side. Mohammed Siraj will be the lead pacer for them. They are placed 4th in the ICC Test Championship standings with a PCT of 52.08.
