Top Picks

AB de Villiers (Bangalore)

Mohammad Nabi (Hyderabad)

Mohammad Nabi is one of the underrated all-rounders in this league. He can contribute equally well with both bat and ball. He had a decent outing in the last game against Kolkata by picking up 2 wickets and scored 14 runs with the bat.

X-Factor Player

Jonny Bairstow (Hyderabad)

Jonny Bairstow knows how to pace his innings and he is extending his remarkable form in this tournament as well. He can bat anywhere the team management wants him to. When he is in form, it’s hard to stop him and he is going to be an X-factor against Bangalore.
