Ganga Sridhar Raju (TGC)

31-year-old batter was the top run scorer for his team last season and best batter from his team this season. He is a must-pick for this game.

Sandeep Warrier (DD)

The right-arm medium-fast bowler who has played for the Gujarat Titans in this year's IPL has picked up six wickets in five games. Sandeep Warrier can be a differential pick for this game.
