Hamilton Masakadza is the biggest bet with the bat for India Capitals. He has been in great form with the bat for the team. He has scored 251 runs from 6 games with a formidable average of 50.20. As far as their bowling department is concerned Pravin Tambe has been the most successful bowler for them picking up 9 wickets from 4 matches.
