Q. Why are Travis Head and Nicholas Pooran good choices for captaincy picks?
Travis Head continued from where he left off in the last season of the IPL, taking down the RR bowlers at will in the opening match of the competition for SRH at home, which is why he will be a good captaincy option.
Travis Head IPL Batting Career Stats:
Nicholas Pooran was just as explosive with the bat for LSG in their IPL 2025 season opener against DC, but his innings wasn’t enough to achieve a win.

Q. Why are Ishan Kishan and Mitchell Marsh good choices for vice-captaincy picks?
Ishan Kishan made a big mark on his SRH debut in the IPL, smashing a hundred against hapless RR bowling lineup, making him a prime candidate for the vice-captaincy role in the fantasy team.
Ishan Kishan IPL Batting Career Stats:
Mitchell Marsh hit the ground running in the 2025 season of the IPL with a swashbuckling fifty in double quick time, he will be looking to continue the momentum as the tournament goes along.
Mitchell Marsh IPL Batting Career Stats:

Travis Head: Travis Head has been in the form of his life in the franchise and international cricket for more than two years, smashing bowlers for fun irrespective of the format.
Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran has been a shining light of the LSG batting in recent times, and he will be the one the team management will be heavily reliant on.
Ishan Kishan: Ishan Kishan couldn’t have asked for a perfect start in the IPL 2025, scoring a hundred against RR in the season opener, but still, there is a long way to go for him this season.
Mitchell Marsh: While Mitchell Marsh isn’t going to bowl for LSG in the IPL this season, his presence at the top of the order could lead to a string of consistent scores, which hasn’t been the case in the league for years.

Abhinav Manohar: Abhinav Manohar might not get the chance to bat for long in the highly explosive and consistent SRH batting lineup, which is why he can be avoided in the fantasy team.
Abhinav Manohar IPL Batting Career Stats:
Shahbaz Ahmed: The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is expected to not provide much help for the spinners in the early stages of the IPL, which is why Shahbaz Ahmed can be surplus to requirement as far as the fantasy team goes.
