India vs New Zealand, 1st T20I 2021 Dream11 Team Selection: Recommended Players As Captain and Vice-Captain, Probable Line-up To Pick Your Fantasy XI
India's T20I skipper Rohit Sharma and his New Zealand counterpart Tim Southee would be the ideal picks as the captain and vice-captain for your fantasy teams. India would be eyeing revenge from New Zealand for that Super 12 stage loss in the T20 World Cup 2021, which eventually led to India's elimination.
India would be going up against New Zealand in the first T20I of the three-match affair at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday, November 17. The match is scheduled to start at 7:00 pm. India have a point to prove after a disappointing show in the T20 World Cup 2021 where they crashed out in the Super 12 stage while New Zealand would be eyeing a win to soothe some pain from that loss to Australia in the final in Dubai, few days ago. Both teams would have different personnel though. For New Zealand, it would be Tim Southee, who would take up the leadership role after Kane Williamson opted out of this series. India on the other hand, would see a new era unveil with new T20I captain Rohit Sharma taking full-time charge of the side and head coach Rahul Dravid at the helm of affairs.

IND vs NZ Dream11 Fantasy Team Captain Pick: Rohit Sharma
The Indian captain would be a good pick for the role of leading your fantasy teams. Rohit Sharma showed why he was such a destructive batsman in this format in India's last three games at the T20 World Cup 2021 and now with the added responsibility of a captain, he is expected to lead from the front with the willow in hand. Cricket fans know that if he gets going once, there are very few bowlers who can stop him.
IND vs NZ Dream11 Fantasy Team Vice-Captain Pick: Tim Southee
New Zealand's new captain for this series Tim Southee would be a good choice as the vice-captain of your fantasy teams. The veteran right-arm quick bowler quietly had a decent T20 World Cup 2021 campaign where he ended up with eight wickets from seven games. As a matter of fact, he forged a crucial bowling partnership with Trent Boult as the duo led New Zealand's bowling attack from the front. He is likely to continue with the same role in this T20I series and his performance would be crucial for New Zealand's chances of toppling the hosts.
IND vs NZ Likely Playing XI
India Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul (vc), Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Venkatesh Iyer, Ravi Ashwin, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal.
New Zealand Playing XI: Daryl Mitchell, Martin Guptill (vc), Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Tim Seifert (wk), James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Tim Southee (c), Ish Sodhi, Trent Boult.
