Three Lions' allrounder Sam Curran will spearhead PBKS against MI as he'll be aiming to get support from his fellow bowlers.

South African speedster Kagiso Rabada added two more wickets to his kitty against RR taking his total to nine as he continues his hunt for his maiden purple cap.

The experienced pacer has gotten Rohit Sharma's number on multiple occasions in the IPL and in international cricket as he could torment MI's top order once again.

Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh have been the silver lining in an underwhelming PBKS' batting lineup with the former chipping in with another quickfire innings at the death against RR.
