Manish Pandey

It has been a disappointing season for Manish Pandey with the bat. The right-hander has been superb in the field but has let the team down with his batting.

Deepak Hooda

Deepak Hooda has had a see-saw season so far. The right-hander had played a match-defining knock against Mumbai Indians in their previous encounter.

Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib Al Hasan has had a good couple of starts but the all-rounder has failed to provide the finishing touches. Thus, the think tank will hope for a better performance from Bangladesh’s all-rounder.

Yusuf Pathan 

Yusuf Pathan played a good knock of 45 off just 27 balls in the last match. However, he was not able to take the match deep. Pathan will aim to give a better performance to his team.

Rashid Khan

Sandeep Sharma

Sandeep Sharma is expected to fill in the big shoes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Sharma has played one match thus far in the season and had an impressive game.

Billy Stanlake 

The lanky fast bowler from Australia, Billy Stanlake has continued to impress with his brisk pace. However, he was on the expensive side in the last match.

Siddarth Kaul

Siddarth Kaul has a good run-up. Thus, he is able to generate good pace and bounce from the pitch. The right-hander has impressed with his variations.
