#1 Player Battle

Jos Buttler vs Sunil Narine – England’s hard-hitting batsman for the Royals has been in a wonderful form and so is the wily off-spinner from KKR. Often entrusted with the task of opening the batting, he also makes the ball talk while bowling in the power plays. He is often found difficult to hit and it is this quality that makes him stand out of the rest.

Andre Russell vs Shreyas Gopal – The man who spun the web around a star-studded RCB line-up would be put to good use in the middle overs against the likes of Russell and others. While the former is famous for hitting the balls out of the stadium with minimal effort, it would be up to the smartness of the leg-spinner to fox the hard-hitting batsman. Can Russell dominate Gopal?
