Vikash Kandola - Haryana Steelers

One youngster who has impressed with his consistency this season has been Steelers' Vikash Kandola, who has 182 points from 19 matches and will need to step up with a match-winning performance against an upbeat U Mumba defensive unit.

To put things into perspective, a Kandola Super 10 has brought about comfortable wins for the Steelers, and if the youngster does manage to evade Fazel Atrachali's ankle holds and Surinder Singh's quick dashes, he could boost his own confidence for a clash against the exuberant defensive unit of the Bengal Warriors.


Abhishek Singh - U Mumba

Slotting into the role of U Mumba's lead raider this season, Abhishek Singh is his side's leading point-scorer this season with 136 points from 19 matches. However, his promising form of late, which has brought about 48 points from five matches will be the 'X-factor' that could define how far the season two champions travel in the knockouts.

Facing off against the Steelers in the second eliminator, U Mumba will be keen on taking inspiration from their 39-33 win against the same opponents only a few days back, and Abhishek Singh's ability to run through the Steelers' defensive unit will be a key feature.
