In his previous game, MI’s wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan played one of the most brutal knocks in this year’s IPL as he smashed the Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers around and made 62 off 21 delivers (5 fours, 6 sixes). During that innings, he was particularly took a liking to the spinners and that makes his encounter with RR’s leg-spinner Ish Sodhi such an intriguing one. In 11 games so far, he has recorded an average of 26.44 but it is his strike rate of 160.81 that makes him such a dangerous player.

The Kiwi has given the RR attack the much-needed control that it sorely lacked in the past and in his last three games, Sodhi’s spells have proven to be extremely important to their bowling effort. In the 3 games that he has played so far, he has take only 3 wickets but at the same time, he has recorded a brilliant economy rate of 6.18. His spell is going to be crucial and if Kishan can get on top of him, then it is going to be a long night for RR.
