Batsman
Ruturaj Gaikwad (9.5 Cr) has been disappointing in the initial stage of the season but could look to focus his form to break this downfall which can channel a strong performance in this contest.
Robin Uthappa (8.5 Cr) played an impressive role during the power play overs that earned him an important 50 runs at a strike rate of 185.19 which makes him our prime choice for this encounter.

Bowlers
Dwayne Bravo (9.0 Cr) became the all-time leading wicket-taker in IPL history with fantastic bowling consistency which should not stop him from playing his part in the squad for this match.

Rahul Chahar (8.5 Cr) is the leading wicket-taker from his team at this early tag of the tournament which should bring out his improving form in this important fixture.
