Usman Ghani (8.5 Cr) has scored 75 runs in the last 2 matches along with his skills behind the stumps which should allow him to maintain a consistent form for this match as our prime choice for this encounter.
Batsman
Vengadashen Abhishek (7.5 Cr) was decent in the last 2 matches as he scored 38 runs and could add more with his bowling skills as seen in the early stage of the tournament.
