Glenn Maxwell (RCB)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 32 Runs and 5 Wickets in 7 Matches
• The Australian all-rounder has been going through a terrible time with the bat in the tournament. Though, Glenn Maxwell has contributed with wickets, there has been no game-changing displays by him. He is due for a big one and the wicket at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium might act as the ideal venue for him to regain his form. 

David Miller (GT)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 164 Runs in 7 Matches
• The South African middle-order batter has not fired big in the tournament. Although David Miller has played a couple of good knocks he not been consistent with his shows. But he could change the complexion of a game with his powerful batting and that makes him a differential choice for the game.
