Sanju Samson has been one of the best Indian batters in the Indian Premier League for a while now with his consistent performances apart from leading the Rajasthan side. Sunil Narine, on the other hand, has been an exceptional talent for the KKR franchise.

Between the match-up for these two, Narine has been dominating the proceedings pretty well. He has bowled 82 balls to him where he has conceded just 66 runs while dismissing him thrice. Samson would be looking to dominate the bowler this season and get the upper hand.

2. Andre Russell vs Jofra Archer

Andre Russell and Jofra Archer are both run-away match-winners for their respective teams. Both have the complete capacity to crush the opposition’s bowling as well as batting departments on their own.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Varun Chakravarthy

Jaiswal and Chakravarthy, both have been newly found gems of their respective teams. While Jaiswal has been an absolute star with the bat, playing top of the order for Rajasthan Royals, Chakravarthy has been rattling the opposition with his bowling for Kolkata Knight Riders.

Jaiswal is a fantastic spinner but has not been able to dominate Chakravarthy so far. He has faced 12 of his deliveries where he has scored 14 runs including three boundaries. Although he has never given his wicket to him, he has not been able to score much as well.
