The best versus the best. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been one of the star performers for his team over the past few years. He has been the only player to win the purple cap for two consecutive years.

Virat Kohli has been an absolute run machine since the past few years. Going by stats, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has dismissed his captain twice while the captain has a decent scoring record against him.

What makes the battle quite interesting is that Kohli either opens the batting for RCB or comes in at No.3 while Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowls in the power play for his team, which makes it highly likely that they will face-off at Hyderabad.

With RCB looking to find their first win of the season, Kohli will be raring to win a match for his team but will Bhuvneshwar Kumar be able to stop him?
