He has also impressed with the bat and Morris will certainly be a top pick for the fantasy lovers.

Rashid Khan – The leg-spinner from Afghanistan is arguably the best T20 bowler across the globe at present. Although he is not in the best of rhythm but Rashid is a deadly customer at any point of the game.
Jonny Bairstow – The English opener is in gorgeous form with the bat and has been explosive as an opener. He has scored 216 runs in 6 games till now. He is one of the top picks for captaincy choice.
