  2. Devon Conway (CSK): Gaikwad's opening partner Devon Conway is the leading run-scorer for CSK so far this season. The left-handed Kiwi has scored 258 runs in 6 innings at an average of 51.60 with three fifties which have all come in the last three games.
  3. Moeen Ali (CSK): England all-rounder Moeen Ali has scored just 74 runs in 5 innings at an average of 24.66. He has picked up 6 wickets in 4 innings so far. The left-handed batter is due for a substantial score under his belt as he is a good pick for this tie.
  4. Jason Roy (KKR): Jason Roy played his first game last time out for KKR and top-scored for his side with his knock of 43 off 39. The right-handed batter would hope to convert his start into a big score this time around against CSK.
  5. Andre Russell (KKR): Andre Russell has a good record against the Super Kings in the IPL. The hard-hitter has smashed 300 runs in 10 innings at an average of 42.85 with 4 half-centuries. And with his bat being silent so far this season, Russell can deliver the goods in this contest.
