KL Rahul will open the innings with the “Universal Boss” Chris Gayle. Gayle’s stats need no introduction and KL Rahul too has established himself in this format.

The lower middle order will comprise of Mandeep Singh and Sarfaraz Khan who are the big hitters. Krishnappa Gowtham and Jimmy Nesham will be their two all-rounders. The bowling will be headed by Mohammad Shami followed by Sheldon Cottrell, Ravi Bishnoi.
