Don't think we will see Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton playing together: Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh said on Star Sports: “I don't think they will start with both of them together. I think it will be either Ryan Rickelton playing or De Kock playing. Either of these two guys will feature in the XI. Playing these two guys in the top order will be difficult because Mumbai have a lot of local players like Rohit Sharma.”
Both players bring different strengths to the table. Rickelton impressed last season with an aggressive approach at the top, amassing 388 runs at a strike rate of over 150. On the other hand, De Kock is an experienced IPL campaigner who has already played many match-winning knocks. This makes the decision even tougher for the team management.

Harbhajan explained his point, “As far as I know and what my knowledge says, I think we will get to see Ghazanfar playing most of the games rather than Santner because Ghazanfar brings a lot of variations to the table. He is someone people haven't seen much. They have not played against him. That's what will give him that edge.”
He signed off by saying, “I think Santner will play in a few games here and there, probably in Chennai or those surfaces where it spins, but I think Ghazanfar will continue to play on all kinds of surfaces and every game.”
