TN vs HIM Top Picks

• Narayan Jagadeesan was superb in the previous game against Bengal where he smashed 75 off just 41 deliveries. Jagadeesan makes it to the 11 not only because is an in-form batsman but because he can give you extra points since he bats at the top of the order.
• Dinesh Karthik played the finisher’s role in his last outing against Bengal, making a brisk 47 off 31 deliveries. Karthik loves batting at this role and knows how to play the field at this batting position.
• Rishi Dhawan was phenomenal in his previous game against Maharashtra with his all-round abilities. He not only picked 3 vital wickets but also sealed the game with a quick-fire 61, so expect him to deliver in this fixture too.
• Pankaj Jaiswal has been another good all-rounder for his side picking 2 wickets each in his last 2 games against Maharashtra and Gujarat. Pawan is also handy with the bat and can score at a quick pace with a strike rate of close to 200 which makes him a great all-rounder pick.
• Baba Aparajith was phenomenal with the ball against Bengal. He picked 2 vital wickets giving away runs only at an economy rate of 5 runs per over. Aparajith will be a value pick if he delivers the way he did in the previous game since the opposition would be more worried about other bowlers.
• Vaibhav Arora had a quiet game against Maharashtra, but prior to that, he had picked 5 wickets in just 2 games. He picked 3 vital wickets against Gujarat and 2 against Baroda, sadly in a losing cause. If Himachal are to win this one, Vaibhav would play a key role.
