Top Picks of DEL vs MUM match

Rohit Sharma (Mumbai)

Rohit Sharma scored 68 runs in the final against Delhi last season. Moreover, he looked good with the bat against Hyderabad in the previous game. The Mumbai skipper will be keen on continuing his good form while opening the innings against Delhi.

Shikhar Dhawan (Delhi)

Shikhar Dhawan smashed 92 off just 49 balls against Punjab and got hold of the Orange Cap as well. He has so far scored 186 and his strike-rate of more than 150 is also brilliant. Opening the innings against Mumbai , he will also be looking to make the most of his current form.

X-Factor Player

Lalit Yadav

The Delhi line-up tends to underperform against Mumbai. A collapse might be around the corner for Delhi and with Lalit Yadav batting at six, he might get more balls to prove his mettle. Yadav will also bowl a few overs and if he picks a wicket, it will be a bonus. He is the X-Factor player in this match.
