GT vs PBKS player battles
Shreyas Iyer vs Rashid Khan
The PBKS skipper is a bona fide spin hitter, Shreyas Iyer, who is also in good form this season, having scored 309 runs at a strike rate of 174.57, predominantly batting in the middle-overs. GT’s main spinner, Rashid Khan, has also returned in form after some dull outings and is operating at his best in recent matches.
Previously, Iyer has scored 105 runs at a strike rate of 90 against Rashid, but has only gotten out twice. This match-up could turn the match either way and dictate PBKS’ score in the match.
Shubman Gill vs Arshdeep Singh
Shubman Gill is once again in the orange cap race with 373 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 155.41. He likes to bat long, which is also important for his team, considering their underwhelming middle-order. An early wicket would put pressure on the hosts, and Arshdeep Singh will have the responsibility in the powerplay to do this job.
So far, Gill has fared decently against Arshdeep with 73 runs in 57 balls, but the run-flow has been in control from Arshdeep, who has dismissed the GT skipper once.
Prabhsimran Singh vs Kagiso Rabada
Prabhsimran Singh has been instrumental for PBKS this season with consistently explosive starts, accumulating 346 runs in 7 innings at an impressive strike rate of 179.27. On the other hand, Kagiso Rabada has picked the most powerplay wickets this season (10). This powerplay battle will dictate PBKS’ score at the end of the innings, making it an intriguing battle.
