#3 Mujeeb Ur Rahman v Ben Stokes

The Afghan spinner has quite simply been KXIP’s best bowler in the season so far and Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s 4 overs are absolutely crucial when it comes to the team’s bowling effort. His variations, accuracy and sharp turn have been tough to negotiate and Mujeeb has not only been able to take wickets but has also been very economical. He has picked up 9 wickets so far at an economy of 6.87 runs an over.
Tonight, he will come up against one of the best all-rounders in the world in Ben Stokes and although the England player can take any attack to the cleaners, there is no doubt that he has been disappointing in the IPL so far. Additionally, he has had troubles against leg-spin and hence, his battle with Mujeeb will be fascinating.
