Travis Head vs Arshdeep Singh

Travis Head has been a nuisance for every opposition he faces, and once he gets going, it gets extremely difficult for any team to get him out. Quite similar, but with the ball, has been the impact of Arshdeep Singh in the shortest format of the game.

Head, who has been wreaking havoc for every team and bashing bowlers, has actually struggled against Arshdeep. Last season, he faced four deliveries from him, where he could score only one run and lost his wicket twice. Arshdeep would be looking forward to continuing the dominance.

Heinrich Klaasen vs Yuzvendra Chahal

Truly a beast of the game, Heinrich Klaasen, when he gets going, is almost a stoppable force. He can play spin as well as he plays the pace and dominates every bowler. Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the best bowlers of the tournament. He has the most number of wickets in the tournament’s history so far.

Klaasen has faced 26 balls from Chahal, where he has smashed him for 53 runs, which includes a boundary and six sixes with a strike rate of 203. He has got out to him just once and has completely dominated the proceedings.

Shreyas Iyer vs Pat Cummins

Shreyas Iyer was appointed skipper of the Punjab side ahead of IPL 2025, and he has been leading the side from the front with his performances. Similar was the case for Pat Cummins in the last season; however, he seems to have lost touch this year.

Between the clash of the skippers, Iyer seems to have dominated so far. He has faced 17 deliveries from Cummins and has smacked him for 33 runs, including a six and five boundaries. He has never given his wicket to him in this format.
