The Elder brother also delivering the goods for the team. With the pitch giving ample support for the spinners, he is utilising it to perfection. He also whacking the delivers pretty cleanly.

9. Lasith Malinga:
The veteran also delivering the goods for the team. He will be key against Sunrisers Hyderabad, especially, with the new ball.
10. Jasprit Bumrah:
Jasprit Bumrah is the best death over bowler in the world. Unfortunately, he looked pretty much weak against KKR. However, everyone knows what he is capable of doing.
