Middle order & Wicket-keeper (Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and Gurkeerat Singh Mann)
Shreyas Iyer has been consistent for Daredevils in past three years. He has also impressed everyone at the international level, making the most of every opportunity that came his way. Iyer will need to continue his recent form and take the responsibility for his side at number three.
A left-handed, destructive, middle order keeper-batsman is a rare commodity in Indian cricket. Rishabh Pant has been in limelight in recent times and has been looked at as MS Dhoni's successor.
Pant had a good run in 2017 but was unable to impress at the international level owing to some poor shot selection. He would be eager to gain back the confidence, and what can be a better stage than the IPL?
Gurkeerat Singh Mann has been around for quite a while now but hasn't got many chances. The hard-hitting batsman has impressed everyone playing for Punjab in the domestic circuit.
He has the ability to finish games and is also a handy bowler, which makes him a great asset in the T20s. If he has fair chances coming his way, this can finally be a break-out year for the lower order batsman.
