The Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Punjab Kings will head against each other in the coming match. They have both been in quite similar forms, and the clash between them would be interesting. The following player battles will make this match even more interesting.
Shreyas Iyer vs Krunal Pandya
Shreyas Iyer has been in incredible form, finding himself among the highest run scorers of the tournament so far. He has been leading the side from the front with his performances. Krunal Pandya, after having shifted to Bengaluru, has been doing great as well, performing quite regularly.
Iyer has been a beast against spin, bashing every spinner he faces, but somehow that has not been the case with Krunal. He has not let Shreyas score freely as he has given away just 40 runs off 45 balls, taking his wicket once too. He has not taken his wicket too many times, but he has been able to restrict himself well.
Virat Kohli vs Arshdeep Singh
Virat Kohli, as usual, has been in great form this season too and finds himself easily among the highest run scorers of the season so far. Arshdeep Singh has only been in great shape and is continuing with his form season over season.
Being one of the best bowlers of the format, Arshdeep has actually struggled quite against this batting maestro. Getting him out just once, he has bowled over 41 deliveries to him where he has been smacked for 79 runs, which includes 13 boundaries and a six.
Rajat Patidar vs Yuzvendra Chahal
Rajat Patidar was appointed the skipper of the Bengaluru side, and the team has turned around their performance this season. Patidar has been playing exceptionally well too, leading from the front. Chahal, on the other hand, was not having too great of a season but pulled it all back in the last game with his match-winning spell.
The match-up between these two is interesting as Patidar is a brilliant batter against spin, and Chahal is probably the best spinner in the history of the tournament. Patidar has faced 17 balls from him so far,where he has smacked 32 runs already, which includes a boundary and three sixes.
