Player Picks
Virat Kohli RCB | BAT
Virat Kohli has been at his best with the bat this season once again and been a key player for RCB. If the Faf Du Plessis led side have to make it to the playoffs, Virat Kohli will again have to do well with the bat.
Ruturaj Gaikwad CSK | BAT
Chennai Super Kings' skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in prime form with the bat this year. With his team needing a win to secure their place in the playoffs, Gaikwad will want to score a big one and help his team go through.
Faf du Plessis RCB | BAT
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper didn't begin the season well but has found his form with the bat. The South African has been a major reason behind the resurgence of RCB as he has given his team flying starts with the bat.
Daryl Mitchell CSK | ALL
New Zealand star Daryl Mitchell has been in amazing form with the bat in the last few matches. 168 runs from 5 matches with 2 half-centuries shows the value he adds to the CSK side.
Rajat Patidar RCB | BAT
The 30-year-old batter from Madhya Pradesh has played a pivotal role in the success of RCB in the last few games. In the 4 innings that he has batted in the last five matches, Patidar has scored 3 half-centuries to help his side win the games.
Ravindra Jadeja CSK | ALL
Chennai Super Kings star Ravindra Jadeja has been a silent performer with the bat and ball this season. His contribution with the bat and ball in the game against Punjab Kings was pivotal for his side to win a key game in the latter stages of the season.
Karn Sharma RCB | BOWL
RCB's veteran spinner has been a key figure in his side's improved performances. Karn Sharma has picked 5 wickets from five matches and also scored crucial runs for his side with the bat.
MS Dhoni CSK | WK
In what is likely his last ever IPL, MS Dhoni has done everything right with the bat. The 42-year-old has scored 136 runs so far and is striking over 226. His record at the Chinnaswamy Stadium will also send chills down the opposition spine.
Tushar Deshpande CSK | BOWL
The 29-year-old pacer has come into his with the ball in the absence of three of CSK's regular pacers. Tushar Deshpande has been in red hot form with the ball and been the lead pacer by picking wickets with the new ball.

Mahipal Lomror
RCB | ALL
Young Mahipal Lomror has been given a lot of opportunities by RCB but the youngster hasn't been able to grab hold of such chances. With the IPL 2025 auction set to be a huge one, Mahipal Lomror knows he needs to come up with a big performance to get retained
Rachin Ravindra
CSK | ALL
Young Kiwi star Rachin Ravindra came into IPL 2024 as one of the most promising talents. After a good start to the season, his form fizzled out. The young left-handed batter made a comeback to the team and played a key knock in the last game but his form has been anything but pleasing this year.
