The final of the ongoing 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is scheduled to be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Mumbai. Both the teams have played pretty dominating cricket all through the season. While SRH has been known to defend lowest of the totals in IPL 2018, CSK had been able to chase down the biggest of the totals this season.

However, in terms of the winning momentum, SRH has faced loss in the last four out of five games and the only win came in the second qualifier against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). There is no doubt about the fact that both the teams do have some surprise packages in their respective squads. Let us have a look at 5 such players from both the teams:

Shardul Thakur (CSK)

Shardul became an overnight sensation, coming as the first change bowler in the 5th over of the match, Shardul Thakur grabbed the priced wicket of Kane Williamson in his first over itself and finish the innings with the spell with the figures of 4-0-20-1. However, he became the hero for CSK with his bat, as he came into bat when they needed 23 in last 2 overs and he played a knock of 15 off just 5 balls and single-handedly took the game away from SRH.
