RCB vs KKR- 3 Players Battles To Watch Out For, IPL 2021 Eliminator. Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders will be in action tomorrow at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium for the IPL 2021 Eliminator and it will be a high voltage clash. Both teams have been in a consistent run of form in the UAE phase and they have a strong squad on paper.

Kolkata has done really well to make it to the playoffs after having started the UAE phase at the seventh position and a lot of credit has to go to the skipper and the coaching staff. RCB on the other hand, have done their homework and they will be up for the challenge against KKR. Here are 3 players’ battles to watch out for in IPL 2021 eliminator.

RCB vs KKR- 3 Players Battles To Watch Out For, IPL 2021 Eliminator

Lockie Ferguson Vs Devdutt Padikkal:

Lockie Ferguson is one of the quickest bowlers going around in the world at present and he can certainly clock up speeds nearly to 150kmph. He held the record for the fastest ball of IPL 2021 for a long time until Umran Malik from Sunrisers Hyderabad surprisingly went past him. Ferguson will certainly be hard to hit with his pace and his variations are very tough to pick.

Devdutt Padikkal has been in outstanding form in the IPL 2021 and has been very consistent at the top of the order alongside Virat Kohli. However, he has been vulnerable to pace at times and he could be targeted with Lockie Ferguson from the KKR pace attack. He will take it away from the left-hander as his natural variation.

Yuzvendra Chahal Vs Rahul Tripathi:

Yuzvendra Chahal has finally found his rhythm back and that has been a good sign for both RCB and the Indian side. He has been very impressive in the UAE phase of IPL 2021 with 11 wickets in 7 games this season and he will be keen to add some more wickets to his tally.

Rahul Tripathi has been in prime form for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the UAE phase and has made sure that he sticks on to the number three position. Tripathi has always had the potential to make it big in the powerplay, but he has struggled in the middle overs at times. He will have to overcome the challenge of Yuzvendra Chahal who takes it away from him.

Varun Chakravarthy vs Virat Kohli:

Varun Chakravarthy has been a sensational find for the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Indian side. The mystery spinner is very effective in T20 cricket with his ability to bowl at any stage of the match and he will be eyeing another good performance against his national skipper Virat Kohli.

Kohli over the years has shown signs of weakness against spinners who have variations and Varun Charkravarhty does have a lot of tricks in his bag. This will be one of the most anticipated battles in the match between Chakravarthy and Kohli.
