IPL 2018 RR vs RCB: 5 player battles to look forward to between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore

#1 Jofra Archer vs AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers

Is there a more destructive batsman in the world? There might be some who can come close but when AB de Villiers is in full flow then it is almost impossible for the fielding side to stop the bleeding.

Considering the sort of form he has been in this tournament, he is going to be the most prized wicket for RR and the contest that is going to be an explosive one is the one he will have with Jofra Archer.

De Villiers is averaging 53.37 and striking at 177.92, which goes to show the sort of carnage he has unleashed this season but in Archer, RR have a bowler who is included among the finest T20 fast bowlers in the world.

He has pace, can bowler a superb yorker and bouncer and most importantly, he is intelligent enough to negotiate the pyrotechnics of modern batsmen. However, De Villiers is a different kettle of fish altogether and since, this is the first time that Archer is going to go head to head with the South African, this clash has an enormous pull for spectators. It could be an epic.
