Top Picks:
Wicketkeeper: Nicholas Pooran (9.5 Cr)
Nicholas Pooran is still a young talent in the world of cricket but has impressed with his ability with the bat. The 23-year-old had a poor outing with the bat in hand in the tournament opener but after scoring 2,210 runs at an average of 23.44 and with an impressive strike-rate of 143.14, it will be no surprise if he will come good for the team on Saturday.
Batsman: Shimron Hetmyer (10 Cr)
Shimron Hetmyer is being termed as one of the most promising batsman in the world of cricket. However, the 22-year-old has a pretty average record in T20s where he only averages 23.10 in 31 innings, which included once century and three fifties.
All-rounder: Chris Green (8.5 Cr)
Chris Green is still establishing himself as a genuine all-rounder in the shortest format of the game. However, the 25-year-old has had a great outing in the season opener for Warriors where he scored 28 runs with the bat and also claimed two wickets with the ball.
Bowler: Sheldon Cottrell (9.5 Cr)
Sheldon Cottrell is in a more than decent form with the ball in hand. The left-arm pacer was clearly Patriots' best bowler in their first game of the competition where he claimed figures of three for 13 in four overs, which included 15 dots as well.
Captaincy options: Mohammad Hafeez, Shadab Khan, Shimron Hetmyer
