All-rounders
Moises Henriques got the nod ahead of Ben Cutting in the battle of the Australian all-rounders who make the starting XI. He has the faith of captain David Warner and while he might take a little while to settle into his new role in the middle-order, he has the potential to make that his own and contribute with the ball as well.
Deepak Hooda has struggled to replicate his sublime domestic form in IPL 2017 so far. Although he hasn’t always got a lot of time in the middle with the bat, he hasn’t looked at home when he has been afforded that as well. He will be keen to correct that against Pune on a good batting deck.
