ENG vs IND Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Dinesh Karthik

Karthik has been in the form of his life of late. After a staggering season of IPL, he had a good series against SA as well. He is a very good wicketkeeping option to have in the team.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler has been batting on a different planet at the moment. He is smashing centuries for fun. Buttler on his day will decimate any bowling line-up thus he is must in every fantasy team.

Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali brings a lot to the table. He is a very good all-rounder who bats in the top order and bowls his full quota of overs in T20Is. He will find a place in any good fantasy team.

Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya has also been in very good form with the bat. He has also bowled occasionally and did well. Given the match-winner he is, he should be in the team as well.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal will get some help from the Southampton wicket. Also, he is in a good rhythm and England batters have had some issues with the spin thus he could be the game-changer for India in the match.
