Rajasthan Royals v Sunrisers Hyderabad - IPL T20
Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan is quite simply the best spinner in T20 cricket at the moment and it will be surprising if he does not end up as the player of the tournament. The SRH bowler has been in outstanding form and in his last two games, he returned figures of 2 for 11 and 3 for 19 in his quota of 4 overs. Those are absolutely incredible figures and his dismissal of MS Dhoni (bowled through the gate by a googly) in the 1st Qualifier remains one of the moments of the tournament.

Dhoni has been one of the reasons behind CSK’s superb show in the tournament so far and despite being an excellent player of spin, he appeared a bit foolish against Rashid in the last game. The CSK captain would definitely like to set the record straight and therein lies the attraction of this battle. If Dhoni can attack Rashid or help CSK negotiate his spell without giving away wickets, then SRH might have a big problem on their hands.
