Shoaib Malik (KAR): The Pakistani all-rounder has been in good form with the bat and decent with the ball. Shoaib Malik will be a perfect fit for this category.

Saud Shakeel (QUE): Saud Shakeel has amassed the second-most runs after Roy for the Gladiators. He has scored 164 runs in five innings but his consistency is a major concern. He is a risky but worthy pick for this category.
