#3 AB de Villiers vs. Jasprit Bumrah

De Villiers is as good as they come

After making headlines with his unconventional bowling action, Jasprit Bumrah now has established himself as one of the best death over bowlers in the shorter format of the game. He operates at a decent pace but the key to his success has been his accurate yorkers which are difficult to hit.

Against RCB, Bumrah will have to think beyond these yorkers because he will be facing a batsman who doesn’t adhere to any batting rules and has the ability to score runs anywhere at any part of the ground.

De Villiers with his tremendous batting display against Punjab has proved that he is completely fit and is looking at his best. He is one of the rare batsmen who hits the blockhole deliveries with ease. He does that by shuffling across and getting into weird batting positions. Bumrah will have to up the ante to contain AB de Villiers and how he does that will be entertaining to watch.
