1. KL Rahul (DC): The in-form Indian batter will be more than happy to face an out-of-form SRH bowling side, and antics in the middle order will be crucial for DC.

2. Pat Cummins (SRH): Pat’s captaincy magic hasn’t worked in this year’s IPL, as his side is one defeat away from elimination. However, his all-round antics can help the hosts stun DC tonight.

3. Abhishek Porel (DC): Abhishek Porel has been a huge boost for DC this season, with over 250 runs in 11 innings. SRH bowlers haven’t been effective in the powerplay, a factor the DC opener will definitely be keeping in mind.

4. Abhishek Sharma (SRH): An on-and-off season for the Indian youngster so far, Abhishek Sharma can take confidence from his last match’s knock and deliver for his side tonight, as they aim at hampering DC’s playoff ambitions.

5. Mitchell Starc (DC): The Australian legend loves a match against SRH, as his performance against the side last year whilst playing for KKR, gave a torrid time to the ‘Orange Army’ fans. The left-arm pacer will fancy the match-up, as he once again faces Head & Abhishek. (All Images Credit: PTI)
