SRH vs DC, Match 34: Top five picks
1.Aiden Markram (SRH): After bagging a duck in his first match. SRH skipper Aiden Markram has got starts in all the games with scores of 37*, 50, 22 and 12. A big knock is due for him as he looks to lead his side from the front.
2.Rahul Tripathi (SRH): Though Rahul Tripathi is the second highest run-getter for SRH this season, he has struck just one half-century (74*) in 6 innings. The experienced campaigner will look to come good in this fixture.
3.Harry Brook (SRH): The only centurion of this IPL so far Harry Brook has struggled to get going in all other innings apart from the one in which he got to three-figure mark. He is averaging 31.20 and is still SRH's leading run-getter.
4.David Warner (DC): DC captain David Warner finally found his rhythm in terms of strike-rate in the last game. He scored 57 off 41 as he is also the highest run-getter for DC so far with 285 runs in 6 innings at an average of 47.50 with four fifties. Warner would hope to deliver again against his former side.
5.Anrich Nortje (DC): DC speedster Anrich Nortje hasnt quite yet hit the ground running in this campaign. The seamer has picked up just four wickets in five outings and would like to add more to his tally in this tie.
