Wicket-Keeper
Jos Buttler (9.0 Cr) was brilliant in his initial stages of the season and has proven to score decent runs which can only keep him focused on retaining his brilliant form for this match.
Batsman
Faf du Plessis (9.0 Cr) has tried his level best to bolster confidence levels with his actions on the field to add another 84 runs in the last match which makes him the leading run-scorer from his team and our prime choice for this encounter.
Virat Kohli (9.0 Cr) looks to be focusing on gaining his confidence back as the team lacks his presence which pushed him to score 59 runs at a strike rate of 125.53 in the last match.
Shimron Hetmyer (8.5 Cr) continues with his consistent power-hitting form that earned him 56 runs at a strike rate of 215.38 as he was trying to his every ball out of the ground that should be taken under control to achieve better targets.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (8.5 Cr) scored the necessary 44 runs at a strike rate of 125.75 in the last match which could be enough to allow him to regain his amazing form as witnessed last season.
Devdutt Padikkal (7.0 Cr) has certainly proved that he can hit the ball down the ground with ease which has earned him decent points to work part-time as an impact substitute for this team this year.
All-rounders
Glenn Maxwell (9.0 Cr) lost his wicket for a duck in the last match after his brilliant performance against CSK that earned him 76 runs at a strike rate of 211.11 along with 1 wicket which can be regained in this important contest.
Bowlers
Mohammed Siraj (9.0 Cr) looks in fantastic form this year and was able to add 4 wickets at an economy rate of 5.25 in the last match which can keep him motivated to give his all in this contest.
Harshal Patel (8.5 Cr) can provide some impressive performances with the potential to find at least one wicket with the ability to push for more along with his batting capabilities which could have kept his side in strong contention.
Yuzvendra Chahal (9.0 Cr) was an impressive threat in the earlier stages of the game but has not been at his blasting form which can be retained against his form side.
Trent Boult (9.0 Cr) has been a vital addition into the squad with solid performances in his last 2 matches that have earned him 3 wickets which can continue to improve his focus for this game.
