Probable Best Batter: Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer has hit three consecutive half-centuries to show the kind of sensational form he is in at the moment. Apart from being an exceptional leader on the field, Iyer is also showing his prowess with the bat and has single-handedly led the run chases on a couple of occasions this season. On Sunday, the fans will be expecting yet another run-fest from Iyer’s marauding blade.

Probable Best Bowler: Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami has shown absolutely no signs of ageing. In fact, he is proving the phrase ‘Age Is Just A Number’ right, as he has been the main man with the ball for Lucknow. Apart from taking wickets, Shami is also clocking speeds close to 145 kph, which is a great thing to have for any bowler to boast the kind of speed that can intimidate batters in modern-day T20 cricket.
