#3 Shreyas Iyer v Shakib Al Hasan

The DD captain is the second highest run-scorer in the side with an aggregate of 351 runs and his contributions at the top of the order is going to be of paramount importance against a bowling attack that can get the better of most batsmen. Shreyas Iyer is averaging just over 50 and striking at 149.36, which is why he is well placed to take on SRH’s premier spin bowler Shakib Al Hasan during the middle-overs.

The Bangladeshi all-rounder has been a vital cog in the SRH bowling arsenal and his superb bowling has seen them throttle teams during the middle-overs. He does not only pick up wickets but does not allow many runs either and that makes it imperative for Iyer to ensure that he scores against him. He has picked up 10 wickets in 10 games so far and has recorded an economy rate of only 7.75. DD must find a way to score in the middle-overs and hence, the Iyer v Hasan battle is such an important one.
