The second finalist of the season shall be decided on 1st June when Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings collide at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The five-time champions, Mumbai Indians, will be reluctant to get a step closer to winning their first title of this decade, while on the other side, Punjab Kings will be itching to get another shot at the title after waiting for over a decade.

Here is the list of three batters to look out for in this match.

3. Rohit Sharma

The Hitman will arrive in the fixture having regained his form after smashing 81 runs off 40 balls in the eliminator against Gujarat. Despite the slump in form, he has still managed to score 4 half-centuries this season.

 2. Shreyas Iyer

The Punjab Kings captain needs to lead from the front in this knockout match. He has already amassed 516 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of more than 170. Although he has failed to play an inspiring innings in the knockout fixtures, Shreyas will look to change that history in this qualifier.

1. Surya Kumar Yadav
