Chopra picked IPL’s all time highest individual run scorer in a game- Chris Gayle who notched 175 not out against former franchise Pune Warriors India, who will open the innings alongside India’s limited overs vice skipper Rohit Sharma.
The formidable looking middle order consists of Virat Kohli followed by AB de Villiers, Suresh Raina and the finisher spot going to MS Dhoni and former Windies player Dwayne Bravo.
The bowling attack features Windies spinner Sunil Narine alongside the experienced Harbhajan Singh. Indian pace duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah makes the pace battery.
