#2 Rahul Tripathi vs Rahul Chahar

While batting at no.3, Rahul Tripathi played a scintillating knock of 53 from 29 balls. He slammed five fours and two sixes during his innings and matched Rana with every stroke. He can be troubled by Rahul Chahar, who had a poor match against RCB. He bowled too many boundary balls and was hit for three fours and two sixes in his four overs. The leggie conceded 43 in his four overs. Even in his short career though Chahar has proved that he is a fighter. The aggressive Tripathi will look to get the better of Chahar whose resolve and talent would be tested in that case.

#1 Rohit Sharma vs Prasidh Krishna

MI skipper Rohit Sharma was looking in a good form in the game against RCB before getting run-out after a horrible mix-up with Chris Lynn. He would be keen to make amends against KKR. Rohit has been in decent form of late. It wouldn’t be wrong to predict that the MI captain will soon be playing Hitman-like innings.

KKR would hope that the sensational knock-in-waiting doesn’t come against them. Rohit will be up against the ever-improving Prasidh Krishna at the start of the innings. The KKR pacer was impressive against SRH as well. He got rid of the legendary David Warner with a fiery delivery and also added the wicket of Mohammad Nabi.
