His hard-hitting was evident in the recent ODI series against India. SRH will hope he again clobbers opponents and have more century partnerships with captain Warner.

Ravindra Jadeja (CSK): The left-handed batter will be returning to competitive cricket from the thumb injury that ruled him out of the entire series against England this year. CSK will be hoping, he gets them to big totals.
