IN-R vs IN-B Dream11 prediction and top picks
Our top five picks for your IN-R vs IN-B Dream11 team
The 58th season of Duleep Trophy didn't quite get off to a crackling start. In the first match between India Green and defending champions India Blue at the Cricket Academy stadium in Bengaluru, only 49 overs of play was possible in the first day forcing the 1st match to end in a dull draw. With not a single ball being bowled in the remaining three days, both teams share a point each and will be eager to bring up their first victory of the tournament. India Blue now take on a formidable India Red side at the KSCA Stadium in Alur, Karnataka. Here are our top five Fantasy Cricket picks for IN-R vs IN-B Dream11 team:
Top Dream11 picks for IN-R vs IN-B Test match
1. Ruturaj Gaikwad - Batsman, India Blue
Coming fresh off the tour of West Indies, India Blue opener Ruturaj Gaikwad was the pick among the batsmen in the first day of the first Test match. Gaikwad who scored 30, showed glimpses of the fine form he has been in. With a high score of 126 in his short career spanning just 13 matches in First Class cricket, the 22-year old is a bankable option to have in your IN-R vs IN-B Dream11 team.
2. Karun Nair - Batsman, India Red
There was a stage in Karun Nair's career where he was branded the next big thing in Test cricket. This was when Nair joined an elusive 300-run club becoming just the second Indian to cross the 300-run mark in a single innings. But a lot has changed since then, but Karun Nair will be determined to make his mark on the international stage once again. The Duleep Trophy is a good start for that.
3. Ishan Kishan - Wicket keeper/Batsman, India Red
The 21-year-old isn't exactly a newcomer in the domestic circuit. Although he is yet to make his international debut, Ishan Kishan has some solid numbers to testify for his domestic career. With a high score of 273, Ishan Kishan averages over 39 which is quite decent for a middle-order batsman. Kishan could have an impact in the Test match and is a solid pick for your IN-R vs IN-B Dream11 team.
4. Axar Patel - All-rounder, India Red
Another player who is fresh off the tour of West Indies, Patel had a really good stinti with India A in the Caribbean Islands. Picking up four wickets and even scoring an unbeaten 81 in the series, Patel impressed a lot of people and will be one of the players to watch out for in the tournament.
5. Basil Thampi - Bowler, India Blue
Thampi didn't get a chance to bowl in the first match and will be eager to get on to the pitch as soon as possible. Thampi may not be in the crackling form having only picked up 11 wickets in the last 10 games he has played. But nevertheless the right-arm pacer has found a lot of success in the domestic fixtures and there is no doubt that Thampi will leave a mark in the tournament.
