Kings XI Punjab v/s Gujarat Lions match to be played at PCA stadium Mohali today. Here are the top 5 players to watch out for in this match:-
1) David Miller:- David Miller also called Killer Miller is one of the superstars of IPL. This year with an additional responsibility of captaining the side it will be interesting to see how things go for him. Punjab will be really hoping Miller to fire and lead them to there first ever IPL trophy this year.
2) Glen Maxwell:- Maxwell's consistency in the recently concluded T20 WC would hold Punjab in good stead. The entertainment he provides to the crowd with his big six, reverse sweeps is phenomenal. Also the value he adds in the squad with his off spiners would also come handy for Punjab.
3) James Faulkner:- Faulkner will be one of the key players for the Gujarat Lions. His form in the recently concluded World T20 has been good and he will try to take that form in the IPL as well. His ability to finish the matches batting down the order and bowling at the death makes him a crucial asset for the Gujarat Franchise.
4) Brendon MacCullum:- After his sudden retirement from international cricket MacCullum is back in this years IPL. Everyone will be eager to see Bazz bat after his retirement. A blasting opener along with it a stunning fielder makes him a player that every team would love to have. Gujarat lions will depend on his batting for posting huge targets or chasing the targets.
5) Suresh Raina:- The 5th player to watch out for could easily have been Shaun Marsh or Aron Finch but Suresh Raina is one player who can turn the course of the match on its own. Raina captaining the Gujarat Lions will be new role for him in this years IPL. His poor form in recent matches is worry but he is a player who can get going even during his tough times.
In short both the teams are full of superstars and everyone will be hoping for a cracker of a contest between these two teams.
