Fantasy XI
Batters: Rohit, Kohli, Rahul and Hayat
Rohit and Rahul will be terrific as openers, while Kohli will play a composed innings at number three, whereas Hayat has always been decent to hold the innings in the middle order.

Wicketkeeper: Mckechnie
While he faced competition from Dinesh Karthik, given his sublime form of late, Mckechnie makes the cut.

All-rounders: Aizaz, Pandya (c) and Murtaza
Aizaz is good with the bat as a finisher, while Pandya is a no-brainer here, given his contemporary form, making him the undisputed skipper. Murtaza can cause a severe impact with his orthodox spins, while he can also be impactful as an opener.

Bowlers: Bhuvneshwar (vc), Ehsan and Arshdeep
Bhuvneshwar is a must-have here, given his veteran experience as a seamer, making him Pandya's deputy. At the same time, Ehsan can give the batters a hard time with his off-spins, whereas Arshdeep has consistently grabbed wickets but needs to keep his tendency to leak runs in check.
