Two top New Zealanders, Devon Conway, and Trent Boult, will be facing each other in a straight battle. Conway has been in great form with 4 consecutive half-centuries for CSL, but Boult is known for his ability to take wickets in the powerplay overs, especially in first over. This opening duel could set the tone for the game.
#2 Jos Buttler vs Tushar Deshpande
Jos Buttler, who has struggled to score runs in the last couple of games, has always played a crucial role for Rajasthan Royals. He will face Tushar Deshpande, an uncapped seamer who has been impressive for Chennai Super Kings. Buttler’s attacking tactics against Deshpande will make for an exciting IPL game.
#3 Sanju Samson vs Ravindra Jadeja
Sanju Samson, Rajasthan Royals’ skipper has always been known for being a formidable batter against spinners, will face Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja had dismissed Samson in the past and Samson will try to target Jadeja across the covers or downtown. Jadeja will wait for his chance to dislodge Samson.
