With the onset of the reverse leg of the tournament, the Punjab Kings and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru will head against each other in the coming match. They fought against each other in their previous game, and Punjab came out victorious. The clash between them would be interesting, and the following player battles will make this match even more interesting.
Shreyas Iyer vs Krunal Pandya
As one of the tournament's top run scorers thus far, Shreyas Iyer has been in outstanding form. He was out for seven in the last match, though, so he was unable to accomplish much. Since moving to Bengaluru, Krunal Pandya has also been doing well and performing frequently.
Shreyas has only yielded 40 runs off 45 balls, and Krunal has taken his wicket once, preventing him from scoring runs at will. He has been able to control himself well, but he hasn't taken many wickets. Although the two did not get the opportunity to play against one another in the last game, things could go differently this time.
Virat Kohli vs Arshdeep Singh
As per his normal routine, Virat Kohli has been playing well this season and is currently among the top run scorers. Arshdeep Singh has also been playing well and has maintained his form from season to season.
Despite being one of the best bowlers of the format, Arshdeep has struggled quite against this batting maestro. Getting him out just twice, he has bowled over 44 deliveries to him where he has been smacked for 80 runs, which includes 13 boundaries and a six. He did cover up his records as he got him out in the previous game.
Rajat Patidar vs Yuzvendra Chahal
The Bengaluru team has improved their play this season since Rajat Patidar was named captain. In contrast, Chahal was not having a particularly strong season, but he made a huge comeback in the game against KKR and was outstanding against RCB as well.
Chahal is arguably the greatest spinner in tournament history, and Patidar is an outstanding batter against spin. Before the last game, in which he hit 32 runs, he had faced 17 balls from him. However, Chahal's sweet retaliation in the preceding game saw him get out with just three runs.
