Key Players
Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav has been a touch out of form for a bit. His starts aren’t being converted to those significant 30s and 40s while his ramps have not found the fence. He has some time to regain his form but is a core member of the T20 side.
Jamie Overton
Jamie Overton has been in some good form of late. He is handy as an all-rounder and his bowling has been pretty effective along with some late hitting with the bat.
