Dependable Trio for D3
-
Virender Sehwag (IND) (OG - Batter 1): [Captain]: Indian captain is expected to be Batter 1 for India. He has been in great form on this tour and has an excellent record against the Windies in ODIs — 1601 runs at an average of 57.20 including 12 fifties and 3 centuries. He will be our captain pick for this match.
-
Yusuf Pathan (IND) (OG — Batter 4: SKY is likely to bat at number 4 for India. Although his record hasn’t been great in ODIs, he would be eager to make a mark, especially with Windies' bowling looking thin on paper. So, Yusuf Pathan’s OG could be a handy pick.
-
Alzarri Joseph (WI): Alzarri Joseph will be the lead pacer for his team. He bowls 145+ consistently and can trouble the Indian batters with his pace and bounce, especially early in the innings. Joseph will bowl in the power play and then towards the end of the innings.
