Yuvraj Singh slammed a half-century for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the tournament opener against RCB and looked like the player that won India the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup. A dangerous hitter, the middle-order batsman is tasked with taking Sunrisers to a big total with his lower order hitting.

Jasprit Bumrah, meanwhile, is one of the best exponents of the yorker in world cricket today alongside Lasith Malinga, his Mumbai teammate. Bumrah's job will be to contain the Yuvi show. If his yorkers miss the blockhole, he can rest assured that Yuvraj will take him on.

On the other hand, Yuvraj does struggle against yorker specialists and slower ball masters. Bumrah has time and again unleashed a deadly slower bouncer along with his accurate yorkers and this makes for an enticing battle when the two face off. Much of Sunrisers’ success will hinge on which way this battle sways.
