Aiden Markram
Reasons
- Aiden Markram came into IPL 2023 with great form but has not been able to deliver consistently. However, he has played some quality knocks`and can contribute with the ball as well.
- He would be itching to deliver a strong performance and lead from the front against RCB.
Mohammed Siraj
Reasons
- Siraj has been RCB's premier bowler this season. He has picked 16 wickets in 12 matches and has been lethal in the Powerplay.
- SRH top order has not been in great form this season and Siraj can demolish their top order with the new ball once again.
