Punjab Kings are under a different captain this season. KL Rahul opted to part ways with the franchise and hence, Mayank Agarwal is the new skipper. Their batting this year is drool-worthy. However, the franchise could have some issues in the bowling department.

For Royal Challengers Bangalore, Virat Kohli relinquished the captaincy. The franchise brought in Faf du Plessis from the auction and named him the captain. He would be the perfect candidate to lead with heaps of leadership experience over the years. Can RCB finally end the trophy drought this year? That depends heavily on how Kohli bats throughout.

PROBABLE TOP PERFORMERS

PROBABLE BEST BATTER OF THE MATCH: FAF DU PLESSIS

Faf du Plessis is all set to lead the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise in the upcoming season and he will have a big role to play at the top of the order. The right-hander finished second in the race for the orange cap last year but will be playing for a different team this time and a lot will rest on his shoulders. The 37-year-old can play match-winning knocks and can be very destructive in the middle overs as well.

PROBABLE BEST BOWLER OF THE MATCH: MOHAMMAD SIRAJ

Mohammad Siraj had a pretty good IPL season last year and he has been using the new ball to his advantage in the powerplay. He was retained ahead of the mega auction this year and the right-arm seamer can also hit the yorkers in the back end of the innings along with his wicket-taking abilities. He is likely to lead the bowling attack in the absence of Josh Hazlewood. Not to forget, he has been riding high on confidence in the last two years.
