Punjab’s main batsman. 488 runs in 13 matches, average 48.80 and strike rate 172.43. In the last match he scored 53 runs against Delhi. With 5 fifties he is very dependable.
Punjab fast bowler, has taken 16 wickets in 13 matches. In the last match he gave 0/60 against RR, but overall bowling average and strike rate is good.

Mumbai's top bowler, took 16 wickets in 9 matches. In the last match he took 3/12 against DC. Economy is good at 6.39 and the strike rate is also best, it can become the match winner.
Punjab’s opener, 486 runs in 13 matches with strike rate 170.52. Recently he scored 91 runs against LSG in Dharamsala. He is a consistent and fast scorer.
Tilak Varma (MI) has played 13 matches, scored 273 runs, highest score is 59. His average is 34.13 and strike rate is 133.82. He is a young batsman who plays in the middle order. He did not score many runs in the last matches but has good potential.
Azmatullah Omarzai is bowling his full overs but is not consistent with his line and length so keep an eye on him in Grand League teams only. He bats very deep where his chances to get more than 4-5 balls are very less. He was expensive in the last match but got two wickets luckily, however in this match, you can avoid him.
Dhir has given good knocks sometimes in the season. Whenever he gets a chance, he scores runs, but that too comes in the lower order. Wankhede pitch is helpful for batting, that is why the top order plays more. It is not fixed whether Dhir comes to bat or not. It is a bit risky, so you can try it in GL, but it will be better to stay away from the safe team.
