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

#4 Quinton de Kock v Piyush Chawla

Piyush Chawla

KKR have one of the best spin attacks in the tournament and Indian leg-spinner Piyush Chawla has done particularly well. He has taken 6 wickets so far and has recorded an impressive economy rate of 7.95. Needless to say, he is a vital cog in the wheel for KKR.

Tonight, he will run into a fine opening batsman in the form of RCB’s South African star Quinton de Kock and it could well prove to be a match-defining contest.

De Kock has gotten starts but he has only made one half-century so far. Now, with the ball coming into him at the start of the innings, he might just have a great chance of getting on top of Chawla early on and breaking the Powerplay stranglehold that KKR seem to enjoy. Whoever comes out on top in this battle will almost certainly give his team a great chance of emerging victorious tonight.
