Shivam Dube: It’s been a slow season for Dube so far, with just 64 runs in four innings. The team still believes in his abilities, though, and hopes he can step up in the upcoming matches. Last time he played against SRH, he scored 12 runs in 9 balls.

Nathan Ellis: He’s only played one match this season, the opener against Mumbai Indians. While he hasn’t had many chances, pairing him with Khaleel Ahmed with the new ball could work well for the team.

Noor Ahmad: The young spinner from Afghanistan has done well in the past with 24 wickets in 23 matches. He’s still someone who can make a big impact on spin-friendly pitches. In the last game, he played against SRH, giving away 42 runs in 4 overs taking two wickets.
