Fantasy XI
Batters: Kohli, Rohit, Shanaka (c) and Gill
Rohit and Gill will give the side a flawless start as openers, followed by Kohli's dominance at number three, while Shanka has been consistent at number four and is a perfect fit at the position. The latter's viscosity makes him the skipper.

Wicketkeeper: KL Rahul
Rahul is doing decently in the middle order over any other keeper and will continue to dominate in this department.

All-rounder: De Silva
He has the only lad who makes the list, mainly for his dominant spin abilities, and he can chip in with the bat if the need arises.

Bowlers: Siraj (vc), Malik, Kuldeep, Rajitha and Karunaratne
The bowling attack will be packed with pacers and seamers on a bowling-friendly track at this ground. While Kuldeep would be a must-have here, given how he has been re-evolving of late, the remaining four have been immensely influential with their fast bowling, while Siraj's impactfulness makes him Shanaka's deputy.
