Wicket-Keeper
Quinton de Kock (9.0 Cr) was looking in brilliant form last season which earned him a total of 508 runs in 15 matches added with his performance behind the stumps that makes him a crucial contributor in the top order.
KL Rahul (9.0 Cr) will also aim to showcase his form from last season that earned him 616 runs in 15 matches to become the leading run-scorer from his side which makes him our prime choice for this encounter.
Batsman
Deepak Hooda (8.0 Cr) was also able to make the most of his current game time resulting in 451 runs in the last season added with his bowling efforts tht can improve his contributions drastically.
David Warner (9.0 Cr) will look to improve his skills with the potential to hold on to a strong batting option to play a responsible role in the absence of Rishabh Pant which could push him to give his all in this opening match.
Prithvi Shaw (8.5 Cr) holds immense potential but lacks the consistency to maintain his threat which earned him 283 runs in 10 matches last season with recent improvements in his domestic career.
All-rounders
Mitchell Marsh (8.5 Cr) is a fantastic all-rounder that could be channeled into a strong start for this campaign making him one of the most crucial players who can contribute consistently in the middle order.
Axar Patel (9.0 Cr) was incredible last season and managed to make amazing batting improvements in his recent games backed up with his strong bowling capabilities that earned him 182 runs and 6 wickets in the last season.

Anrich Nortje (9.0 Cr) did not get a full season due to his injury last year that still pushed him to find 9 wickets in 6 matches which can increase his contributions drastically with an improved game time.
