Virat Kohli

The Indian maverick is coming into this tournament on the back of brilliant form in the IPL 2024. Virat Kohli scored 741 runs in the tournament at an average of 61.75 while maintaining a strike rate 154.69. 

Why pick Virat Kohli?

  • Virat Kohli is in great form, and the momentum will be with him. His IPL form will give him the confidence to carry his team's batting in this important tournament.
  • Kohli has been the go-to batter for India in the T20 World Cups. He has scored 1141 runs in T20 World Cups at an average of 81.50. These numbers show his level of consistency, and hence, his presence in the fantasy contests ensures you point in most games.
  • Virat Kohli has a particular way of approaching his batting in T20s. He spends the initial moments adjusting to the conditions and then takes on the initiative to accelerate the scoring rate. This might be ideal for the West Indian conditions, and thus, Kohli will give you the highest points in most games. 

Jasprit Bumrah 

Jasprit Bumrah will lead the Indian bowling attack in the T20 World Cup 2024. In IPL 2024, he picked up 21 wickets in 13 matches while having an economy of just 6.48. These numbers testify to his efficiency with the ball in the tournament. 

Why pick Jasprit Bumrah?

  • Jasprit Bumrah bowls in those phases of a match where the batters try to be aggressive, i.e., the powerplay and the death overs. The fact that the batters are trying to take the attack to him at this stage gives him more chances to pick up wickets and, hence, will help you gain more fantasy points. 
  • Bumrah's ability to get through his spell economically is known to everyone. Thus, keeping him in the team will ensure you don't get negative points in the fantasy contests, even on the bad days. 


Kuldeep Yadav

The Indian left-arm wrist spinner had been in good form during the IPL 2024. Kuldeep Yadav was efficient throughout the tournament, picking up wickets in the middle overs and maintaining a reasonable economy rate. Kuldeep picked up 16 wickets in 11 matches while having an economy of 8.65. His economy is particularly noteworthy as he played most of his matches in one of the most batting-friendly tracks in the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Why Pick Kuldeep Yadav?

  • Kuldeep has the momentum of his great IPL season with him. He has been economical and picked up wickets in the middle overs. With the wickets in West Indies slowing down with the match's progress, Yadav might emerge as a game-changer. Keeping him in the team will allow you to win big in the fantasy contests. 
  • Kuldeep Yadav could be an advantageous choice in the group stages, as teams like Ireland, the USA, and Canada might struggle to select his variations.
