Mohali: MS Dhoni-led Rising Pune Supergiants will take on David Miller-led Kings XI Punjab at PCA Stadium in Mohali on Sunday. With a win and a loss in the last two games, Dhoni would aim for getting a right balance in his team, while Kings XI, who had a dismal performance, losing badly in both their games, will try to take the advantage of the home conditions. Let’s take a look at the players who can make a difference in the game:

Rising Pune Supergiants

MS Dhoni: This is self-explanatory. He is the best finisher of the game today. He captained CSK in all the eight seasons and won it twice. On numerous occasions, Dhoni had bailed his team out of trouble and the SuperGiants would be hoping that he does the same, playing for their team.

Steve Smith: Australian Captain Steve Smith is one of the best players of the game right now. He has played for Pune warriors in the past and will certainly play a crucial role for the Supergiants in their first season.

Kevin Pieterson: KP still remains one of the most destructive batsmen England had ever produced. He was in exceptional form in this year’s Big Bash smashing 74* in the final. He also is an excellent fielder and his form will have a huge say as to where the SuperGiants finish this season.

Kings XI Punjab

David Miller: The newly appointed captain of KXIP, Miller has been a core part of this team for many years. He has been a match winner for Punjab and played a significant role in the 2014 season when KXIP finished 1st in the table with a strike rate of 149.6 .

Glen Maxwell: He announced himself to the world in the 2014 IPL. He scored 552 runs with a highest of 95 and a strike rate of 187.75! Two years down the line and now he is more experienced and more matured in his batting and his form will be vital for Punjab to win this season.

Shaun Marsh: The first ever orange cap holder, Shaun Marsh has been phenomenal for the Punjab side. He can play any role in the team, be it of an opener or a finisher and will be a vital component for PreityZinta’s team.
