Shardul Thakur: Against Hyderabad, LSG's Thakur ripped through the top order to cheaply dismiss Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, who scored a hundred in the previous game. He also bagged the Player of The Match award and set the tone and showed his experience.

Arshdeep Singh: Known for his death-over skills and ice-cold nerves under pressure, Arshdeep has become the heartbeat of PBKS’ bowling unit. Whether it’s the powerplay or the death, the captain throws him the ball when the going gets tough. And more often than not, Arshdeep delivers.

Ravi Bishnoi: The LSG leg-spinner could be tough to dominate as he likes to trouble batters with his quick legbreaks, sliders and googlies instead of deceiving them with flight, drift and dip.

Yuzvendra Chahal: The attacking legspinner is one of the marquee names of IPL as he is the first bowler in the history of the tournament to take more than 200 wickets. He will be key player for PBKS against LSG on spin friendly pitch.

Digvesh Singh: LSG will also have high hopes from Digvesh Rathi, who made heads turn with his stellar show at the inaugural Delhi Premier League last year. The 23-year-old mystery spinner is already making headline and has demonstrated incredible control over bowl.
