Batters - Deepak Hooda, Shimron Hetmyer and Devdutt Padikkal

Wicketkeepers - Jos Buttler (c), Sanju Samson, Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul
Buttler and Rahul will give explosive starts as openers, while de Kock and Sanju Samson are no-brainers here for their regular contributions with the bat so far. Buttler's regularity makes him the skipper.

All-rounder - Krunal Pandya
Krunal has been effective mainly with his leg-spins and can bat and play the big shots when needed, while he can also act as the best finisher.

Bowlers - Yuzvendra Chahal (vc), Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi
Chahal is a must-have for his lethal leg-spins, making him Buttler's assistance, while Bishnoi has delivered exceptionally well with his leg breaks and googly. As for the pace, Avesh has been the most effective of all.

Probable XI
LSG: Quinton de Kock (wk), KL Rahul (c), Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan.
