Virat Kohli: On good batting wickets, Virat Kohli becomes a persistent threat at the top and he has shone so far in IPL 2023 at home.
David Warner: While Warner has three half-centuries on the trot, the rate at which they have come has put him under scrutiny. Can Warner turn it around with a quickish knock?
