Rohit Sharma vs Sandeep Sharma

Rohit started the season poorly but seems to have covered up quite a bit in the last few games, scoring two consecutive half-centuries. Sandeep Sharma, on the other hand, has had a mixed season as well, where he has not been able to provide much support in wins to the team.

However, Sandeep seems to have completely dominated the proceedings against Rohit so far. He has bowled 44 balls to him where he has let him score just 38 runs including three boundaries and two sixes while has taken his wicket away as many as five times already.

Suryakumar Yadav vs Wanindu Hasaranga

Suryakumar Yadav has probably been the most consistent batter in the IPL in the last few seasons and continues to do so this season as well. Hasaranga has been the key player in the team’s set-up and their best spinner of the lot as well.

Surya has been a dominant force against the spinners, and he has done the same against Hasaranga as well. He has faced 16 balls from him where he has smashed 35 runs off him at a strike rate of 218.8, which includes four sixes without ever losing his wicket to him. This just shows his dominance over him.

Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Jasprit Bumrah

Jaiswal seems to be having one of the best seasons of the Indian Premier League for him as he has already slammed five half-centuries. Jasprit Bumrah came to the tournament late due to injury, but he made a fiery comeback with a four-wicket spell in the last game.

Jaiswal has faced Bumrah for a total of 16 deliveries, where he has been able to score 19 runs with two boundaries and a six. Scoring at a strike rate of just 118, he has lost his wicket once as well. Although he has not picked his wicket too often so far, he has not let him score at will.
