5. Rohit Sharma (MI)

Apart from his 94 runs innings against RCB, Rohit Sharma had been dull in the IPL with the other five innings accounting for only 46 runs. The disappointing performances meant Surya, Kishan, and Lewis carrying extra pressure. Rohit had to step up. After getting out irresponsibly against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Rohit was intent to perform with the bat. His match-winning knock against CSK will give him much confidence. He has good memories of the Chinnaswamy Stadium as well.
