Faf du Plessis vs Sunil Narine

Faf du Plessis has returned back to the team after a string of injuries. He came back in the last game but looked off colour. Sunil Narine, on the other hand, has been doing a good job with the bat and a decent job with the ball. However, his effectiveness with the ball might have decreased.

Faf has played a total of 46 deliveries from Sunil Narine so far, where he has just been able to score 37 runs, which includes just a single boundary. Although he has lost his wicket to him once, he has never been able to score willfully against him so far.

Lokesh Rahul vs Varun Chakravarthy

Rahul has been in terrific form this season and has already played several match-winning knocks. He is a key player in his team’s set-up. Varun Chakravarthy has also been an important player in his team; however, he has not had a great season so far.

Varun has bowled 46 balls to Rahul in the Indian Premier League, where with the help of just three boundaries, he has scored 45 runs while losing his wicket once. Varun has held him tightly with his bowling, not letting him score runs easily.

Andre Russell vs Kuldeep Yadav

Andre Russell has to be one of the best strikers and one of the most fearsome batters in the history of the tournament. Kuldeep Yadav, on the other hand, is a deceitful bowler who tricks the batters and gets their wickets.

Russell has not had a good season with the bat, and it might get worse as his record against Kuldeep has not been good. He has faced 10 deliveries from him, where he has been able to score just four runs without any boundaries and lost his wicket once in the process as well.
