One of the most explosive left handed batsman in the recent time. He generally opens for the team and can put big runs on the scoreboard. Scored 98 runs in the last match. Shikhar Dhawan will be an obvious choice for the dream team.

After showing a good performance in a T20 series the Indian captain has continued his form in the ODI series also. He scored 56 runs in the last match. He will be my choice for the captain position of the dream team.
