India vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Top Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is playing his 100th Test and he averages 50+ in Test format. His 28th Test century is highly anticipated and he is also 38 runs short of the 8000-run mark in Tests. We are backing Kohli and Shreyas Iyer from the Indian batting line up and leaving Rohit Sharma for this match.

Pathum Nissanka

Pathum Nissanka is one of the best batters in the Lankan squad currently. He was the top run scorer of the series against Australia and was also the top scorer for Sri Lanka against India in the 3 T20Is. As far as his Test stats are concerned, in 6 matches, he has scored 427 runs at an average of 42.70. He is our only pick from the Sri Lanka batting line up.

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer is currently the top pick batsman for this match and the reason is his perfect form. Iyer made his Test debut with a century in 1st innings and a half century in the 2nd, which shows he has required skills for the format. He was the highest run scorer in the T20I series against Sri Lanka, scoring 204 runs in 3 matches.

Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja is the top pick player for this match and with more than 85% selection, he is way above other players in comparison. The 33-year-old all rounder has played 57 Tests in which he scored 2195 runs and picked 232 wickets.

Mohammad Shami

Over the last few years, Mohammad Shami has emerged as the star Test bowler for India. Despite India’s defeat in Tests against South Africa, Shami looked in good form, taking 14 wickets in 3 Tests. He is the 2nd top picked player in this match after Ravindra Jadeja.

Dushmantha Chameera

Dushmantha Chameera is one of the top Sri Lankan pacers currently. He didn’t look in his best form in the T20I as he took only 2 wickets in 3 matches but his Test records are pretty good. He has picked 32 wickets in just 12 Test matches. He is the most picked bowler from the Sri Lankan bowling line-up.
