#2 Trent Boult v Ajinkya Rahane
The RR captain may not have set the IPL on fire yet but he has been amongst the runs and Ajinkya Rahane’s wicket will be crucial for DD if they are to get the better of the visitors’ batting line-up. He is their second highest-scorer with a tally of 225 runs and has recorded an average of 37.50, in addition to a strike rate of 130.05.
What is interesting is that the Indian batsman has been much more successful against spin than against pace. He is striking at 143 against spinners against 117.2 against the faster bowlers and that is why the opening duel against DD’s Trent Boult will be so important. Boult is one of the world’s leading fast bowlers but he has not had a great IPL so far, having gone for 9.18 an over so far in 8 games. However, he has taken 11 wickets and if he can eke out the wicket of Rahane in his initial burst, then DD would definitely have a better chance of winning tonight’s must-win game.
