Shivam Dube:
Shivam Dube performed admirably each time CSK needed someone to stand up in the middle. He is undoubtedly one of the guys to keep an eye on. The 29-year-old has scored 363 runs in 13 games so far, and in the most recent match against KKR, when all the other hitters were having trouble in the middle, Dube smashed 48* runs off 34 deliveries to help CSK out of a tight spot. He has therefore been an important player for CSK this year.
Probable Best Bowler
Tushar Deshpande:
Tushar Deshpande might be a threat to DC even though the bowler has given up a lot of runs and taken a lot of wickets. He is presently in sixth place for the IPL Purple Cap with 19 wickets in his first 13 games.
