Ishan Kishan will assist Rahul in the top order, as the opener. He started his IPL 2022 campaign with the Mumbai Indians brilliantly, hitting back to back half-centuries, but could not carry the momentum for a long time, as he failed to produce strong performances in the latter stages of the league.

However, he made a strong recovery at the finish, scoring 418 runs in 14 games of the league stage at an average of 32.15. The wicketkeeper batter scored 105 runs in two games against Sri Lanka in his previous T20I series, including one fifty. He was also the third-highest run-getter of the series.

Though Shreyas Iyer did not have a dream run at the IPL this season, he tried to put his best foot forward. He played some crucial knocks for the team when Kolkata Knight Riders were put under pressure and displayed composure on the field. He managed to score three half-centuries in the 14 games, that he played at the IPL, taking his tally to 401 runs.

He was also a part of the T20I series against Sri Lanka in February and helped India clinch the series by 3-0. He scored unbeaten half-centuries knock in all the three games and emerged as one of the standout players of the lot.
