Quinton de Kock (8.5 Cr) was able to add another solid performance scoring 99 runs at an amazing strike rate of 227.59 in his last 2 matches which could allow him to maintain a consistent form in this contest.
Ishan Kishan (8.5 Cr) has been on a slight incline with his batting form and has managed to bounce back which could allow them to give his all in this crucial fixture.
Batsman
Kyle Mayers (8.5 Cr) was out for a duck in the last match but holds immense potential that was witnessed throughout the initial stages of the tournament which can be regained against this opposition.
Suryakumar Yadav (9.0 Cr) holds amazing batting potential and has shown his consistency which should not stop him from playing an important inning under pressure making him our prime choice for this encounter.
Rohit Sharma (8.0 Cr) was able to add another 29 runs at a strike rate of 161.11 which should keep him focused on making the most of his spot as the top-order batsman.

Cameron Green (9.0 Cr) was not able to showcase his talents in the last match but his amazing batting and bowling contributions should play a key role in his development for this match.

Ravi Bishnoi (8.5 Cr) will aim to regain his spin bowling form that proved vital in the initial stages but has been missing in the last 2 games which can lead to a better mentality for this game.
Piyush Chawla (8.5 Cr) looked dangerous in the recent matches but was not able to provide consistent performances that could be his main motivation as our prime choice for this encounter.
Jason Behrendorff (7.0 Cr) made a brilliant comeback to pick 4 wickets in the last 2 matches that should allow him to maintain his form in this crucial match.
