Shahbaz Ahmed
The Bengal all-rounder will occupy the seventh position. So far she has made some useful cameos for SRH. However, in the previous match he only bowled one over.
Pat Cummins (C)
Cummins will come in at eight. He has led the team well so far this season with three wins in five games. The Australian has taken six wickets in five games so far.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvi will come in at nine. He and Cummins have done very well on the power play. However, so far it has lacked land. He has picked up three wickets so far this season. He picked 16 last season.
Jaydev Unadkat

T Natarajan
Natarajan is likely to conclude the playing XI for SRH. They may have a full-tempo attack against RCB and the spinners are likely to run at Chinnaswamy’s short boundaries. He has taken three wickets this season and 10 last season.
Sub-Mayank Markande Impact
Markande can be used as an Impact Sub against RCB. The hitters lack consistency and that is what he can take advantage of. He has picked up three wickets in four games so far.
