With the bat, Suresh Raina is their only player to have hit a half-century so far, making 54 from 36-balls against Delhi.

With the ball, they flopped against Delhi, taking only 3 wickets in the game. But responded brilliantly against Punjab Kings, Deepak Chahar with 4-13 and delivering a maiden over.
