IPL 2018, DD vs KKR: 5 player battles to look forward to 

#3 Prithvi Shaw v Shivam Mavi

The battle between India’s captain in the Under-19 World Cup and one its stars is going to be one of the most eagerly anticipated one in tonight’s game. Prithvi Shaw is predicted to be one of India’s future stars and the same goes for the tearaway fast bowler Shivam Mavi, which is why the duel between the two youngsters is such an exciting one. Mavi came into the side after Vinay Kumar’s woeful show in the first two games and although he is not quite the finished material yet, he has given the KKR attack an extra edge.

He has taken only two wickets so far and has recorded an economy rate of 9.30, which is better than the ones recorded by both Andre Russell (10.90) and Tom Curran (11.86). On the other hand, Prithvi Shaw played his first game KXIP and looked in good touch before being dismissed for 22 off 10. Now that Gautam Gambhir is almost certainly going to be out of the side, the top order is going to depend on him and hence, a clash with his Under-19 teammate is definitely going to be one for the ages.
