ICC World Twenty20 India 2016:  South Africa v England

#3 Virat Kohli v Harbhajan Singh

Virat Kohli

The RCB captain is the 4th highest run scorer in the IPL going into tonight’s game. Virat Kohli has made 231 runs in 5 games at an average of 57.75 and is striking at 138.32. Although he has opened the innings this year, he is most likely to come in to bat number 3 and one of the battles that will define the RCB innings is the one he is going to have tonight with his compatriot Harbhajan Singh.

The off-spinner did not play in the last two games but he is expected to make a return to the side in tonight’s game, according to reports, and he is almost certainly going to be introduced into the attack as soon as Kohli comes in to bat. He has only picked up 2 wickets so far and has recorded a decent economy rate of 8.25, however, it is his experience that will be necessary to combat someone like Kohli. The Indian captain has scored most runs against CSK (706) and it is imperative for the visitors to keep him quiet if they are to entertain any thoughts of victory tonight. Harbhajan could just be the man for the job.
