Wicket-Keeper
KL Rahul (11 Cr) has been consistent with his batting performances and should work hard to keep an advanced lead for his orange cap in this contest.
Batsman
R.Gaikwad (9.5 Cr) is just 7 runs behind KL Rahul for the orange cap but he looks focused on performing well in every match which makes him our prime choice.
M.Agarwal (9.5 Cr) has been brilliant in the last 2 matches and in the overall tournament which has kept him 6th on the batting leaderboard.
A.Markram (8.5 Cr) holds great potential with great performances in the starting 3 matches which should be retained in this contest.
All-rounders
R.Jadeja (9.5 Cr) has managed to perform well with his batting in the middle order and bowling performances which should keep him pumped for the upcoming matches.
D.Bravo (9.0 Cr) has managed to perform consistently but was only able to pick 1 wicket against DC which should allow him to keep a fresh approach for this contest.
M.Henriques (8.5 Cr) was not picked in the starting XI until his last match against RCB where he was able to pick 3 wickets which should allow PBKS to rely on him for this encounter.
Bowlers
J.Hazlewood (8.5 Cr) has been a crucial contributor in the bowling side who will look to build his form for the upcoming matches
S.Thakur (8.5 Cr) has managed to have a great season where he has picked 15 wickets with greater potential to make use of this pitch.
