Rishabh Pant vs Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal and Rishabh Pant are two of cricket's greatest stars in India, particularly in the Indian Premier League. Although Chahal has been performing admirably for his IPL team, Pant has fallen short this season, which has caused more issues for his squad.

The competition between these two has been quite equal, with either of them occasionally making an appearance. Chahal has bowled 59 deliveries, getting him out three times and sending him packing for 83 runs, including four boundaries and six sixes.

Nicholas Pooran vs Arshdeep Singh

While Arshdeep Singh has been winning games with the ball for the Punjab Kings, Nicholas Pooran has been the match-winner for the Lucknow Super Giants. It would be intriguing to watch these two compete against each other because they are both the finest at what they do.

Pooran has been in control of the game, smashing 44 runs off of the 26 balls he has faced thus far. He has hit six boundaries and lost his wicket just once, with a strike rate of 172.

Shreyas Iyer vs Ravi Bishnoi

Shreyas Iyer's strong performances have been driving the Punjab Kings forward. He is one of the finest hitters against spin, which is where he would be most useful because LSG's main spinner, Ravi Bishnoi, has been performing admirably for the team despite having a poor season thus far.

Despite facing 22 deliveries from Bishnoi, Iyer has only managed to score 27 runs, including three boundaries. Despite his inability to free him, Bishnoi has undoubtedly succeeded in keeping him silent.
