There are only two sides in this IPL who have a bowler as their captain and they will off against each other for the first time this season. Ravi Ashwin has lead the side quite well in this tournament and has had a good tournament personally with the ball despite being involved in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is having a mixed bag as far as his captaincy tenure is concerned and a forgettable tournament with the ball considering his past credentials. He was made the stand-in skipper to replace Kane Williamson who is not close to 100% and will most probably lead the team for a few more games.

Both of the experienced campaigners will need to make sure their captaincy duties doesn't affect their bowling form. One would expect both of them to deliver this match on a batting friendly PCA Stadium pitch.
