The 33rd match of the tournament could be a low-scoring affair if PBKS bats first. We predict Jasprit Bumrah and Rohit Sharma to be the frontrunners for Player of the Match in this scenario. However, if PBKS can pull off an upset and win the game, the all-round performance of stand-in captain Sam Curran could be the deciding factor. Therefore, we've identified these three players as the ones most likely to stand out in today's PBKS vs MI match.
