Dream11 Fantasy Team for 3rd ODI
As always, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ben Stokes, and Hardik Pandya are automatic choices in any ODI team. About the remaining players, we have made a major change after the first ODI by opting for Rahul over Pant as wicketkeeper. We were influenced by the brilliant batting form displayed by Rahul in the first match, and we expect him to continue in the same vein. Bairstow and Roy are two other players in great form, and they feature in our Dream 11 as well.
Krunal Pandya proved his worth with bat and ball alike and we consider him a better option than Sam Curran for an allrounder role, alongside Hardik Pandya and Ben Stokes. Chahal was replaced by Kuldeep Yadav in the first ODI. Bhuvneshwar and Wood were impressive though Wood went for a few runs. Out toughest call was the choice of the third bowler. In the end, we opted for Thakur who was the surprise packet in the first ODI. His burst of three wickets proved to be the winning turn as England slipped from a position of comfort.
Our final Dream 11 reads as follows: Sharma, Kohli, Bairstow, Roy, Rahul, Stokes, Hardik, Krunal, Kumar, Wood, and Thakur.
<Summary
As ever, we must be careful when you select the captain and vice-captain of our Dream 11. We continue to prefer Rohit Sharma as our captain though he did not deliver with the bat in the first ODI. But knowing the India opener, the next big innings from him is just around the corner. Kohli is our vice-captain, as we bank on him to score runs under any circumstance.
