6. Kedar Jadhav
7. Chris Morris
8. Hardik Pandya
9. Mitchell Starc
10. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar
11 . Yuzvendra Chahal
 
IMO every managers in this draft had done really well with their picks.
 
Excellent team, Akash.

Slightly skeptical over Hardik's credentials given the current IPL isn't being taken into account.

I only picked him as a slogger tbh. I don't need more than an over or two from him if that.
 
  1. Warner
  2. McCullum [WK]
  3. Tendulkar
  4. Yuvraj
  5. Badrinath
  6. Iyer
  7. Valthaty
  8. Chawla
  9. McClenaghan
  10. Harris
  11. RP Singh
 
1. Dilshan
2. De Kock
3. Raina
4. D Karthik (W)
5. Y Pathan
6. Shakib
7. A Mahmood
8. Ashwin
9. S Aravind
10.U Yadev
11. Bumrah

Pretty good team. Aravind and Mahmood can be replaced but apart from that excellent.
 
  1. Warner

  6. Iyer
  7. Valthaty
  8. Chawla

Interchange Iyer and Badrinath. Tendulkar was great as a opener for MI. Actually have a pretty good pick for you. PM me.

Probably the best team right now. I'd put Rahul as opener. Kohli at 3 and Nair at 4.
 
Vijay
Hussey
Samson
Watson
Dhoni
Jadeja
Morkel
K Sharma
V Kumar
M Sharma

Far too many bowling options. Can easily drop Vinay Kumar(FFS?) and pick an Indian batsmen.

Probably the best team right now. I'd put Rahul as opener. Kohli at 3 and Nair at 4.

I considered that to bolster the middle order but Rahul is much better at 3/4 than opening.
 
What about dropping mahmood and having Shakib there and putting KP at 6 as a quick slogger?

KP is great. Put him at number 4. Drop Mahmood and you have an excellent middle order.

Good team. No changes.

Rahul's best spell in IPL came when he opened. Was poor in middle order.

Nah. He averages 40 at #4. He was ok as an opener.

Albeit last season he was quite good there for a bit before Gayle came back.
 
Push Watson and Dhoni to four and five. Drop Venu to six. Pretty solid bowling lineup.

I just thought with Dhoni being one of the best finishers. But of course t20 has no batting lineup as such.
