The 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has reached its business end now as most of the teams will have to witness some crunch game in the last week of the league stages of the IPL 2018. One of those crunch games will be played between the two teams who can’t afford to a loss in the tournament now, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in Mumbai. KXIP was humiliated by Royals Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their last game.
Both the teams need to will their remaining two games in order to qualify for the IPL 2018 playoffs. The last time these two locked horns with each other, MI had defeated KXIP comfortably by a margin of 6 wickets. However, there is no doubt about the fact that both the teams do have proven match-winners in their respective squads who can single-handedly take the game away from any opposition. Let us have a look at 5 such players from both the teams:
Surya Kumar Yadav (MI)
The Mumbai middle-order batsman is having a brilliant season at the top. Surya Kumar Yadav has already scored most runs for an uncapped player in a single IPL season.
