Player Picks
Sunil Narine KKR | ALL
It is impossible to build a team without Sunil Narine. He is a strong contender for the Most Valuable Player award for his all-round excellence. The KKR opener has scored 286 runs at a strike of 176.54, including a century and also grabbed nine wickets in seven outings.
Andre Russell KKR | ALL
Andre Russell scored a 25-ball 64 in the first match played here this season. While the big man contributes with such influential cameos with the bat, his bowling prowess has also been a crucial factor in KKR's impressive run so far. Having taken 9 wickets in 7 matches, Russell has the best strike rate of 8.89 and fourth-best bowling average of 14.89.
Shashank Singh PBKS | ALL
Shashank Singh is the backbone of the PBKS batting unit. The uncapped Indian cricketer has put up a ruthless batting performance in most of the matches.

Mitchell Starc
KKR | BOWL
Mitchell Starc entered the season with a bang but failed to live up to expectations with his performances. He seems to have lost his ability to take wickets along with maintaining the economy.
Shikhar Dhawan
PBKS | BAT
Shikhar Dhawan has missed the last few matches due to injury but that may not have hurt the team much given his poor performance with the bat. The southpaw has struggled to find form and his lean patch looks set to continue.
