Wicket-Keeper
Dinesh Karthik (9.0 Cr) failed to make his mark for the 3rd time in a row highlighting the teams dependency on his batting contributions which should help him focus on retaining his strong performance.
Batsman
Faf du Plessis (9.5 Cr) was not at his best the last time he went against his former team which should be his motivation to create a stronger performance as a responsible captain which makes him a potential game-changer.
Virat Kohli (9.0 Cr) looked focused in his last match which earned him 58 runs at a strike rate of 109.43 to build decent partnerships that could lead to a similar outcome in this match.
Ruturaj Gaikwad (9.5 Cr) will come here after a fantastic innings of 99 runs at a strike rate of 173.68 in the last match on this pitch which can allow him to channel his form in this crucial fixture making him our prime choice.
Robin Uthappa (9.0 Cr) did not get a chance in the last match to showcase his batting talents which could allow him to make his mark with his batting contributions in this fixture.
Devon Conway (8.5 Cr) made his return to the starting 11 and could be there for quite some time as he was able to maintain an important partnership alongside Gaikwad which saw him start slow with eventually picking the gears that earned him 85 runs at a strike rate of 154.55
All-rounders
Glen Maxwell (9.0 Cr) was dismissed early by Jadeja in the last match which should allow him to bounce back with greater spirits that can push him to find a higher total in this contest.
Ravindra Jadeja (9.5 Cr) was able to find his contributions with his bowling and consistent chances on the field which should be the case with his performance on this surface which can keep him motivated for this match.
Bowlers
Josh Hazlewood (9.0 Cr) was not at his best in the last match but should be able to utilize this pitch to his benefit as he can bowl continent lengths that could hit the mark in this important match against his former team.
Wanindu Hasaranga (9.0 Cr) looks to have retained his bowling contributions after adding another 2 wickets to take his total to 15 wickets in the last 10 IPL fixtures making him a crucial contributor.
Mukesh Choudhary (8.5 Cr) has shown his bowling potential yet again after finding 4 wickets in the last match which should motivate him to find consistency as he currently holds 11 wickets in the last 8 matches.

R.Gaikwad will be our captain because of his current form which should allow him to showcase a blistering performance.
F.du Plessis will be our vice-captain because of his understanding of the opposition which can allow him to improve his contributions.
