Batsman
Nitish Rana (9.0 Cr) scored 43 runs at a strike rate of 165.38 along with his skills on the field which should allow him to maintain a similar form coming into this match.
Rinku Singh (8.0 Cr) was able to score 23 runs at a strike rate of 121 which should help him with certain improvements which can come with this added game time.
Rahul Tripathi (9.0 Cr) managed to regain his composure after scoring 58 runs at a strike rate of 156.76 which can be channeled into his performance against his former club in this important fixture.
Abhishek Sharma (9.0 Cr) lost his wicket early in the last 2 matches which could be his main motivation to bounce back as he will look to create his contributions as their opening batsman.
All-rounders
Andre Russell (10.5 Cr) was able to add another 2 wickets to his already building form which takes his overall total to 281 runs and 14 wickets in the last 12 matches making him our prime choice for this encounter.

Bowlers
Tim Southee (8.5 Cr) holds amazing skills which have earned him at least 1 wicket in all of his matches with greater potential for more that could keep him focused on this match.
Pat Cummins (8.5 Cr) made his way back to the starting 11 after picking 3 wickets to change the course of the match which makes him our prime choice for this encounter.
Umran Malik (9.0 Cr) needs to focus on finding wickets as he has already proven his worth after getting consecutive prices for the fastest delivery which could lead to better performances in the upcoming games.
Jagadeesha Suchith (8.0 Cr) played a crucial role in finding 2 wickets at an economy rate of 7.50 which can continue to improve with an improved game time.
