Virat Kohli has been very consistent in IPL 2023. There has been a few talks about Kohli's strike rate but the batter has ignored all the outside noise and has performed well for the team with 419 runs.
Faf du Plessis has also been in top form for RCB. The captain is the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 511 runs in 11 matches.
For MI, Suryakumar Yadav has looked good in the last few matches. Yadav has only scored 293 runs in IPL 2023 but most of them have come in the last few games so he has momentum with him.
Piyush Chawla has been fantastic for MI with the ball. He has been key to MI wins as all other bowlers have been smashed around. Chawla with 17 wickets is MI's leading wicket-taker.
Mohammed Siraj had an off game against Delhi Capitals and he will be eyeing to return to form against MI. Siraj has been magnificent with the new ball and a good spell by him can rattle the top-heavy MI team.
