Wasim Jaffer has been solid as always in the domestic competitions fro Vidarbha. The specialist batsman has 779 runs from his last nine games with an average of 70.81
Shubman Gill's sheer consistency with the bat makes him a real asset for Punjab. The 20-year-old has scored 776 runs in his last seven games with an average of 86.22
Vidarbha's Aditya Sarwate has scalped 56 wickets from the last 10 games with an economy of 2.77
For Punjab, wrist-spinner Mayank Markande will be the danger man. The former Mumbai Indians man has picked 40 wickets from the last eight games with an economy of 2.70
