VK vs MP Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter
Chris Gayle
The legendary West Indian cricketer is one of the most explosive batters to have graced the game with his menacing hitting prowess. At the age of 43, Gayle still hasn’t lost his sensational hitting prowess and will look to play a breathtaking knock in the upcoming fixture.
Probable Best Bowler
Shoaib Malik
Malik is one of the greatest all-rounders to have ever graced the T20 format. The former Pakistan captain can create an impact with both bat and ball. However, his off-spin could turn out to be lethal for the opposition as he has enough tricks up his sleeve to leave the batters dumbfounded.
