#1 Umesh Yadav vs Ajinkya Rahane
The 30-year-old bowler from Vidarbha couldn't make it to the Nidahas Trophy in Sri Lanka earlier this year. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, and Jasprit Bhumrah in good form, it has been difficult for him to get into the team.
Kohli's side shelled out Rs 4.20 crore to rope in Umesh Yadav, and he scalped three big wickets in an over against Punjab.
Umesh will be up against Ajinkya Rahane in the powerplay. The 29-year-old batsman from Mumbai is technically sound and is one of the few players who plays orthodox shots in this format of the game.
The visiting team will depend heavily on the pair of Rahane and Short to give them a flying start in case they are chasing a mammoth total. With Umesh Yadav in such sizzling form expect him to fizzle out Rahane and give RCB a solid start.
