2. Prabhsimran Singh

This star opener of PBKS impressed everyone with his maiden IPL ton in the last game against DC. He smashed 103 runs off 65 balls, including 10 fours and six sixes. Thus, Prabhsimran Singh won the Player of the Match award also. His knock helped PBKS to score 167 runs on the board while other batters faced issues scoring freely on that tricky Delhi pitch.

In 12 matches, Prabhsimran has scored 334 runs, at an average of 27.83 and a strike rate of 153.91. So, with a century on his back against the same opponent in the last game, PBKS fans will hope for another terrific knock from him. His contribution might work wonders for the team in this must-win clash.    

3. Axar Patel

This star Team India all-rounder has been in terrific form with the bat in IPL 2023. In 12 matches, Axar Patel has scored 268 runs, at an average of 29.77 and a strike rate of 137.43. He has also notched up one fifty so far but his all contributions have come when the team needed him most. 

In the last match, he had another opportunity to help the team with a significant contribution with the bat. But, Axar failed cheaply for one run off two balls. So, this time around, against the same team, DC fans will expect to see him scoring big runs as DC will look to avoid two consecutive defeats against them.
