Four epic duels between Indian cricketers to watch out for this IPL

#3 Suresh Raina & Ravichandran Ashwin

The former CSK teammates will be at loggerheads this IPL

Both of these names have shared the same dressing room for the better part of first ten years of the IPL with both having played an important part in building the brand that CSK is today.

The eleventh edition of the IPL promises to be different as Ravichandran Ashwin, who was bought by the Preity Zinta-owned franchise for Rs 7.6 crores, will lead the Kings XI Punjab, while Raina will once again don the yellow jersey of the Chennai Super Kings as the franchise aims to re-establish itself after a two-year sabbatical.

This means Raina would be up against the vile of Ashwin. It is important to note the sub-plots that would make this rivalry or duel particularly intriguing. Raina is one of the best batsmen of spinners in the world and his pristine eye and understanding of the different variations that a bowler can bowl, makes him a hard nut to crack.

On the other hand Ashwin, who along with a plethora of guile and experience, has numerous tricks in the arsenal to fox the batsmen. Also, with Ashwin aiming to try his hand at leg-spin this time around, the battle between Raina and the spinner promises to be a mouth-watering affair.
