Abhishek Sharma vs Arshdeep Singh
It will be an exciting battle between Abhishek Sharma and Arshdeep Singh. Abhishek has been in great form this season. The current orange cap holder has scored 440 runs in 10 matches at a monstrous strike rate of 206.57, and he would love to continue providing an explosive start to SRH against PBKS. But Arshdeep is also Punjab Kings’ main wicket-taking bowler with 10 wickets so far, and the early swing at Hyderabad could help him to trouble the SRH opener.
Heinrich Klaasen vs Yuzvendra Chahal
It will be an interesting battle between Heinrich Klaasen’s big hitting and Yuzvendra Chahal’s clever spin bowling. Klaasen is in sensational form with 425 runs, and he has already hit 32 sixes. His numbers show how dangerous he is presently, but Chahal, who has taken 12 wickets in 9 matches, will aim to use smart bowling, like flight and wide balls, to keep the South African star in check.
Shreyas Iyer vs Pat Cummins
This will be a big battle between the two captains—Shreyas Iyer of PBKS and Pat Cummins of SRH. Shreyas Iyer is in stunning form this season. He has scored 328 runs in 9 matches and plays a key role in holding the innings together while still scoring quickly.
On the other side, Cummins has been leading well with the ball. He has taken 11 wickets and has kept the run rate under 8. Cummins will aim to try to trouble Iyer with short balls and bouncers, making it interesting to see who wins this battle.
