Here are the three key player battles to watch out for during the LSG vs RR match:
1) Marcus Sex vs Ravi Ashwin
Marcus Stoinis single-handedly won the last match for LSG with a spectacular century against CSK. After that game, he will be full of confidence and will look to replicate the same today. But on the other hand, Ravi Ashwin will be posing a challenge for him. Therefore, it will be interesting to see the battle between these two during the LSG vs RR match.
2) Nicholas Pooran vs Yuzvendra Chahal
Nicholas Pooran is a very destructive powerhitter and has batted pretty well for LSG this season. But he has a weakness against quick spin, and RR will look to exploit his weakness by bringing in Yuzvendra Chahal. He got 200 wickets in the IPL during the last game and is in good form this season. Therefore, it will be an interesting to see who will come up on top in this player battle.
3) Quinton De Kock vs Trent Boult
Quinton De Kock is very much dangerous with the bat in this format of the game and has been a key batter for LSG this season. On the other hand, Trent Boult has a habit of dismissing the opposition’s batters in the first few overs of the match. This battle between both overseas players will be an interesting one to watch.
