Rahul can make a good score today because he likes pace. His captaincy will also be a thing to watch because Punjab is standing at very critical situation in points table.
2. Quinton de Kock (MI)
South African wicketkeeper batsman and Mumbai’s opener Quinton de Kock has showed why he is important for MI in past few years. He is second most consistent batsmen for Mumbai in this IPL. He with Rohit Sharma provides a strong opening partnership which helps MI a lot.
1. Rohit Sharma (MI)
The hitman Rohit Sharma is facing the worst IPL season as captain because his team is at No.7 in points table and for a team like Mumbai Indians these rankings are really a shame for them. But the captain is leading from the front when it comes to bat. He is the highest run scorer for his team this season. He can score big today. With his ability to play spin and fast bowlers equally well frustrates the opposite team bowlers.
