IPL 2018, DD vs RCB: 5 player battles to look out for in Delhi Daredevils vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

#1 Rishabh Pant v Yuzvendra Chahal

Rishabh Pant

DD might have had a bad season so far but their wicketkeeper-batsman has been one of the best batsmen in the tournament so far and following his outstanding knock in the previous game, Rishabh Pant is going to be the player to watch out for tonight’s game. His outstanding power-hitting has seen him score 521 runs at an average of 52.10 and a barely believable strike rate of 179.65. I

f he gets going then it is very hard to stop him and considering the sort of form he is in, RCB will need a special effort from one of their bowlers to keep him quiet.

The bowler who could be the man to counter Pant’s threat is leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. The Indian leg-spinner is an extremely intelligent bowler and in addition to his ability to turn the ball, he can vary his line to unsettle the most brutal hitters in the game.

Chahal has taken eight wickets so far in 10 games but has gone for only 7.93 runs an over and his spell tonight to Pant is going to be the one that could decide the direction of the game.
