Fantasy Cricket Tips – My Fantasy XI:

Batsmen: Steve Smith (c), David Warner (vc), Ajinkya Rahane, Marnus Labuschagne, Cheteshwar Pujara

WK Batsman: Rishabh Pant

All Rounders: Cameron Green, Ravichandran Ashwin

Bowlers: Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc

Captain and Vice Captain:

David Warner (817 runs in 8 Tests) and Steve Smith (579 runs in 6 Tests) have a good record at The Gabba. With Steve Smith back in form he will be my automatic captaincy choice. David Warner looked rusty on his come back but Brisbane could be his way back in to the format. He will be my vice captain

Batsmen:

I am going with Ajinkya Rahane, Marnus Labuschagne, Cheteshwar Pujara, David Warner and Steve Smith as my batting options. With Jadeja and Vihari gone – I could opt in to get an additional batsman as per Dream 11 format

All rounders:

Ravichandran Ashwin’s experience guarantees him a spot in my fantasy XI along with the very impressive Cameron Green.

Bowlers:

I am going in with the mandatory 3 bowlers. I am going in with an all out Aussie attack – Pat Cummims, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will form my pace attack for the Brisbane Test.

X-factors for me will be Rishabh Pant and Cameron Green.
