#3 Yuzvendra Chahal v Kane Williamson

The SRH captain may not be the most spectacular power-hitter in the game but he is one of the world’s top batsmen and this year Kane Williamson has emerged as the team’s top scorer with a total of 544 runs. He is averaging over 60 and striking at 134.98. He is a player who does not have many weaknesses and when the situation demands, he can go after any bowler in the world.
That is what makes him so dangerous and his duel tonight against RCB’s spin ace Yuzvendra Chahal is going to be a crucial one. Spin is not one of his weaknesses but the RCB leg-spinner is an operator who can induce mistakes from the best players and on top of that, he does not give away many runs. An economy rate of only 7.35 is ample proof of his prowess as a bowler and tonight he would want to stifle Williamson so as to induce a mistake from the Kiwi.
