Today’s HIM vs KER Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson is one of the best cricketers in the country, with the Kerala captain capable of scoring quick runs in the middle overs. He comes into the game on the back of a fifty against Madhya Pradesh, holding him in good stead ahead of this exciting HIM vs KER clash.

Batter

Prashant Chopra: Although Prashant Chopra has looked in decent touch, he hasn't been able to convert his starts into big ones. He is Himachal Pradesh's best bet with the bat, making him a must-have in your HIM vs KER Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Jalaj Saxena: One of the most consistent performers on the domestic circuit, Jalaj Saxena has turned up with decent performances on the bowling front. His attacking batting prowess also adds to his case for inclusion in your HIM vs KER Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Basil Thampi: Basil Thampi is one of the fastest bowlers on the Indian circuit with his ability to swing the ball adding to his case. Although he hasn't been in the best of form, Thampi should bounce back into wicket-taking ways to make for a good selection.
