IPP vs JRL: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer had a memorable campaign during the Indian Premier League. He helped the Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully defend their title by playing some crucial cameos at the back end of the tournament. The southpaw was dismissed cheaply in IPP's first game of the season and would want to bounce back strongly on Saturday.

Probable Best Bowler: Shivam Shukla

Mystery spinner Shivam Shukla was one of the most impressive bowlers last season. He picked up 11 wickets in just seven matches at an average of 16.73 and an economy rate of 8. Shukla will have a key role to play through the middle overs.
