A lot of current Punjab players were playing for RCB in the past. They would be itching to prove a point to their former franchise. Or perhaps it would be just a big party. Let’s find out
1. Virat Kohli vs Mohammed Shami
As two of the best Indian players face off at Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat, it would be a test for both of them to outplay each other. Virat Kohli with a mere average of 33 in six innings this season, would like to get his team to a flying start. On the contrary, Mohammed Shami would be rearing to get a wicket or two as he is having a quiet season with the ball (7 wickets in 6 innings)
2. Chris Gayle vs Yuzvendra Chahal
The Universe Boss is yet to set IPL on fire with his explosive batting. With only 119 runs in six matches (strike rate 119), he will be waiting to swing hard in middle. Chahal with only three wickets in six matches hasn’t tasted success this season.
3. KL Rahul vs Harshal Patel
Both these players are in red hot form (Rahul 240 runs 7 matches and Patel 17 wickets in 7 matches) and serving best for their respective team. Who will this contest, will get the result soon.
Stay tuned. The action starts at 7:30 IST.
