Shikhar Dhawan (10 Cr) is the top-order batsman the team largely depends on his batting capabilities which have earned him 214 runs in the last 7 matches whic can push him further in this match.
Robin Uthappa (9.0 Cr) brings a strong start for the team but lacks the consistency he is capable of that should allow him to continue with his contributions that can maintain his side in the game.
Ruturaj Gaikwad (8.5 Cr) had the best match of the season but was back to his lowering form which could be his main motivation to bounce back from the current setbacks in this season.
All-rounders
Liam Livingstone (9.5 Cr) was out for 2 runs in the last match but can fight back as seen throughout this season with a total of 226 runs in the last 7 matches which makes him our prime choice.
Odean Smith (8.5 Cr) can be decent yet consistent as this young talent leans more towards his bowling skills that have earned him 6 wickets in the last 6 matches.
Ravindra Jadeja (9.0 Cr) won his second game as the captain against rivals MI which should be a huge boost considering the team’s balance which could be maintained in this contest which makes him a potential game-changer.

Kagiso Rabada (9.0 Cr) holds brilliant potential which is yet to be uncovered this season as he currently picked 7 wickets in the last 6 matches along with his ability to help the tail end of the batting order.
