IPL 2018, KKR vs CSK: 5 player battles to look forward to 

#3 Andre Russell v Dwayne Bravo

The battle of the West Indian all-rounders is going to be one of the headline battles in tonight’s game and more specifically, it is going to be between Andre Russell’s batting and Dwayne Bravo’s bowling. In the previous game, Russell slammed a 36 ball 88 and hit 11 sixes to propel KKR to 202. In that innings, he hit Bravo for 5 sixes and it is interesting to note that it was not an isolated event.

Russell actually has an outstanding record against his fellow West Indian and in the 102 balls that he has faced from him, he has smashed 216 runs and has recorded an astonishing strike rate of 211.8. So, there is going to be a showdown yet again between the two at the Eden Gardens tonight and one would hope that Bravo has some new tricks up his sleeve so that he can keep his compatriot quiet.
