David Warner (Captain), Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Jonny Bairstow, Manish Pandey, Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, T. Natarajan and Vijay Shankar.

Likely Star Performers with the bat –

For Mumbai their number three Suryakumar Yadav has started of the tournament in the same vein that he finished the last IPL with and has been in the thick of runs. While Rohit Sharma struggled with his timing the Mumbai skipper cannot be ruled out having a good match with the bat.

For Hyderabad their captain David Warner will be the vital player along with Jonny Bairstow and Manish Pandey. Warner is coming on the back of an half century he scored in the last game while Pandey and Bairstow too have made a strong start to the campaign.

Likely star performers with the ball –

For Mumbai the onus will be on Rahul Chahar who picked 4 wickets in the game against KKR and the fast bowling combine of Boult and Bumrah who did the damage towards the end of the KKR innings with their death bowling.

Hyderabad will bank on the trio of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan and Natarajan to dent the strong Mumbai batting line up.

Players to tread caution with

Mumbai haven’t seen the best of Kieron Pollard so far and the West Indian has been largely silent in the first two games of the IPL for Mumbai Indians .

For SRH one has to be cautious while picking Saha in their line up as the veteran wicket keeper batsman has had a dismal start to the IPL for the 2016 IPL champions.
