Yashasvi Jaiswal (Rajasthan Royals)

Yashasvi Jaiswal made his India debut across formats on the back of strong domestic performances and impressive IPL outings last year. He is in even better touch this time around and hence the team will bank on him to deliver the goods consistently at the top along with the ever-reliant Jos Butter.

Devdutt Padikkal (Lucknow Super Giants)

Devdutt Padikkal batted out of position in the middle order for RR. It is uncertain if he will play at the same spot or move up the order in place of KL Rahul for LSG. Nevertheless, Padikkal made his Test debut for India earlier this month, and he will be hoping to capitalise on this confidence for LSG.
