RR vs SS Key Players

Mashrafe Mortaza

Mortaza's appearance remains under cloud but he has yet been named captain of the side. He is a legend of the nation and he will be hoping to put his political pressures behind him as he heads back into the field.

Moeen Ali

Ali has been around for a while and is known for his quiet performances. How he goes as a leader though will be interesting given his quiet demeanor in the field.
