Bhuvneshwar Kumar - The purple cap holder in this IPL season, Bhuvi has been terrific for the Sunrisers. Except for the last over against Raising Pune Supergaint, Bhuneshwar has been the go to bowler for SRH and skipper Warner.

Rashid Khan – The only spin bowler who has made a good name in this SRH squad, Rashid Khan has made a good impression. He has been the go to man for David Warner.

Yuvraj Singh – The veteran southpaw has been struggling after his wonderful batting display in the opening match against RCB. But how can one forget his magical over against Delhi which turned the game in SRH’s favour. Warner and Co should also use his bowling skills because there no spin bowler after Rashid Khan to complete his 4 overs. Yuvi’s all-round talent make him a player to watch out for this match.

Kings XI Punjab

Sadly Miller hasn’t used his limited opportunity to greater effect. Maxwell and Co will want a Miller show against
Glen Maxwell – Like Warner, Maxwell too is leading his team from the front. At number 3 position, Maxwell is the man who has been scoring the bulk of runs for KXIP. Against Sunrisers he will be a key player for Kings XI. Last time the Hyderabad team got away by 5 runs but this it will be Punjab all over the place against
Axar Patel – A handy all-rounder for the Kings XI, Axar has been good with his spin bowling and his batting lower down the order. Like Rashid Khan of SRH, Axar is the only spin bowler to make a good impression. He has been the bowler to watch out for Maxwell and Co. against SRH. Axar will have to deliver his all-round skills to help his team avoid another defeat at the hands of
Manan Vohra - He was the man who brought his team close to a thrilling win in the last encounter. Sadly he couldn’t take his team through the line. Vohra is eager to face the Sunrisers again and he will make sure that he doesn’t repeat the same mistake again. His opening partner Amla is also in terrific form. Vohra and Amla will hope to do good
