Both players played alongside each other when they were at Chennai Super Kings during IPL 2014 and IPL 2015. The purple cap recipient from IPL 2014, Mohit Sharma bowled a pretty decent spell of 2/33 against Delhi Daredevils, dismissing Vijay Shankar and Daniel Christian.

Brendon McCullum gave RCB a pretty good start and scored 43 from just 27 deliveries before being bowled by Sunil Narine.

The New Zealander may have retired from international cricket but he still possesses the killer instinct that made him such a feared batsman. He will be looking to give RCB a powerful start in the powerplay overs.

However, Mohit Sharma will certainly not be holding back and will do whatever it takes to dismiss the former Kiwi skipper as early as possible because if he keeps going, he could be a menace for KXIP.

Hence, this would be another player battle which would be worth watching.
