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

Virat Kohli

Even though Virat Kohli is yet to hit the peak, he has been in some good form across formats in recent times. In the previous ODI series against Bangladesh, Virat Kohli scored a century in the third and final ODI.

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav has been piling on runs for fun in recent times. Surya scored a blistering 45-ball century against Sri Lanka in the final T20I so he comes into the match with great momentum behind him.

Dasun Shanaka

Dasun Shanaka had a great T20I series as he scored 124 runs in 3 matches. However, his performances in ODIs have been a bit inconsistent. Shanaka will be leading Sri Lanka for the first time in ODI World Cup so he will be keen to raise his bar in ODIs as well.

Jasprit Bumrah

Veteran India pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be back for team India in the 1st ODI. Bumrah has been out of action for a while due to injury but the layoff would have given him enough time to rest and refresh. Bumrah has a great record against Sri Lanka and he would like to continue his good run against the Islanders.

Wanindu Hasaranga

Irrespective of the format, Hasaranga is the main man for Sri Lanka with the ball. Hasaranga had an average T20I series and he would like to make amends in the ODI series.
