Yuvraj Singh is visibly struggling in the middle. Sunrisers Hyderabad would eye revenge against Kings XI Punjab after the Gayle-storm demolished them in the away clash. KXIP, however, look the best team in the moment as they have been extremely competitive so far.

Best economical pick: Mujeeb Zadran is proving to be a game-changer with the ball in hand. His variations and the extra pace are proving to be very difficult for the batsmen to pick. He was given the tough task of defending 17 runs in the final over against DD and he defended it successfully. He dismissed Iyer on the final ball of the match to win the game for his side. Earlier, he had also bagged the big wicket of Rishabh Pant. Mujeeb returned with figures of 2/25 in his four overs.
