IPL 2025, Match 16: LSG vs MI Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain choices

Nicholas Pooran: There is no shock that Nicholas Pooran is leading the Orange Cap battle with 189 runs in three innings after scoring 75, 70, and 44 runs, respectively. His incredible six-hitting ability can destroy any bowling line-up.

Hardik Pandya: MI captain Hardik Pandya has to take important roles for his team. While the MI skipper is yet to perform strongly with the bat, he has taken three wickets in two matches. He can play strong finisher roles both as a batter and a bowler. 

Mitchell Marsh: Although Mitchell Marsh scored a golden duck in their last game against Punjab Kings, he previously scored 72 and 52 runs against Delhi Capitals and SunRisers Hyderabad, respectively. 

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Shardul Thakur: Although Shardul Thakur went wicketless in their last game, he started well in the previous two matches by picking up a total of two and four wickets, including his best bowling figures in his IPL career (4/34).

Deepak Chahar: Indian pacer Deepak Chahar has a strong experience and started well in the IPL 2025 with four wickets in three matches, including three wickets in the powerplay. 

Trent Boult: Although New Zealand left-arm fast bowler Trent Boult is mostly silent in the early IPL 2025, he is improving well with every game.
