IPL 2017 Player battles: Top 4 player encounters to look for in the Delhi Daredevils vs Kolkata Knight Riders match

Will Zaheer get the better of Gambhir?

#2 Sam Billings vs. Sunil Narine

Can Narine help KKR win?

Known as one of the better players of spin bowling from England, Sam Billings has had a good run so far at the top of the order for the Delhi Daredevils and scored 55 in the last game against the Kings XI Punjab. Billings has shown the tendency to start a bit cautiously and then accelerate in the last couple of overs of the powerplay. Meanwhile, Gambhir has introduced his spinners exactly at this point of the innings in previous games.

Sunil Narine has been tidy and miserly with his spells so far, without being spectacular. Nevertheless, Billings will look to take on the spinner if he comes in at the end of the powerplay. This should make for an exciting contest between bat and ball.
