IPL 2018 MI vs SRH: 5 player battles to look forward to 

#2 Rohit Sharma v Shakib Al Hasan

The MI captain is also their best batsman and in the encounter against Royal Challengers Bangalore, he got back to his best with a superb 94. However, in the previous game against Rajasthan Royals, he was run out for naught and in today’s crucial game in Mumbai tonight, Rohit Sharma would need to deliver against the best bowling attack in the IPL. He comes in to bat at number 4 these days and hence, he would most probably have to tackle the fast, accurate left-arm off-break of Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan.

Shakib has been a steady performer for SRH throughout the season and has been successful in keeping a lid on things during the middle overs. He has recorded an economy rate of 7.66 and has picked up 5 wickets so far in as many games. Additionally, he has an excellent record at the Wankhede Stadium and has picked up six wickets so far to go along with an outstanding economy rate of 6.6. His battle with Rohit Sharma in tonight’s game is going to be absolutely crucial.
