Faf du Plessis (Chennai)

The Chennai opener has not broken a sweat yet in this season and has managed to give his side some really important starts. The South African has been in top form. He has scored 270 runs in six innings so far and is coming into this game on the back of a match-winning 56 against Hyderabad. 

Rohit Sharma (Mumbai) 

Rohit Sharma got starts in this season. However, he hasn’t really converted that into a big inning, which is known for. Having said that, the right-handed opener has scored 215 runs in the six innings of this season so far. He would be eyeing a big score, given how good the Delhi surface is.
