Safe C/VC Choices
Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran

5) STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

(i) A weak pace unit - With Mayank Yadav already ruled out from the first couple of weeks due to an injury, and players like Shamar and Mohsin also injury prone to such long tournaments, their pace unit looks very weak and inconsistent. With Marsh also injured and declared unfit to bowl in this tournament, and Akash Deep's economy rate in IPL being 11.67, and Avesh Khan also giving around 10 per over in both the previous seasons, their pace attack is going to be under the radar.

(ii) An experienced overseas batting order + Pant - With players like Markram, Marsh, Miller, Pant and Pooran, this seems to be a very strong looking and an experienced batting unit. All of them are floaters and can play at any given situation, and can take the game away single-handedly.

(iii) Lack of spin options - With the team having only invested in 6 overseas players, they have not gone for any experienced overseas frontline spinner amongst those. While their frontline spinners in Bishnoi and Shahbaz have played just about 60 IPL matches each, they don't have any other experience in this spin department. With Siddharth the only other to have made a debut with 3 matches to his name, Digvesh and Yuvraj are yet to make an appearance. Their only frontline off break bowler is also Aiden Markram who is a batting all rounder and fixes an overseas spot as well.
