Probable Top Performers
The probable best batter of the Match:
Ruturaj Gaikwad:
CSK opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad’s form has been hot and cold in this edition so far. The right-handed batter has played some excellent knocks in the tournament but has not been able to score runs consistently. Gaikwad only managed to score seven runs in his previous match, but he will look to bounce back in the next match.
Probable best bowler of the Match:
Rashid Khan:
GT star spinner Rashid Khan was at his absolute best as he scalped four wickets in his previous match against LSG. The 23-year-old will want to emulate his performance in the next match against the defending champions CSK. The right-arm spinner will want to take the prized scalp of MS Dhoni as well.
