#2 Prithvi Shaw vs Chetan Sakariya
Prithvi Shaw looked in complete command when he decimated the CSK attack. When DC faces RR, Shaw will be keen to carry on the good work. At the top of the innings, he will come across a young dynamo in Chetan Sakariya, who stood out among all RR bowlers against PBKS. He bowled an excellent last over against PBKS, not allowing the batsmen to go after him. There is not much to separate Shaw and Sakariya in terms of age. But when it comes to experience, the batsman has definitely played more matches.
#3 Rishabh Pant vs Shreyas Gopal
Rishabh Pant didn’t have much to do with the bat in his first game as DC captain for the franchise as Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw dominated proceedings. However, he can be expected to bat longer against RR. One would expect that the DC skipper will continue being aggressive with the bat, be it spin or pace.

RR leggie Shreyas Gopal had a forgettable outing against Punjab as he was taken apart by Deepak Hooda. The big blows may have affected his rhythm to some extent. Over the years, he has been a premier bowler for the franchise and has even got the better of legends like AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli. Coming up against Pant will be a different kind of a challenge for Gopal.
