Ireland vs India, T20: 5 player battles to look out for

#3 Kuldeep Yadav vs Kevin O'Brien

He is one of the rare commodities in cricket at the moment, and Kuldeep Yadav is perhaps India's match-winner with the ball in this format. He has the mystery and the guile to flummox batsmen at all times and should be handy in all conditions.

However, his biggest challenge in the middle overs will be Kevin O'Brien who is fresh from his historical Test century. Kevin likes to plonk his front foot and give the ball a thwack and f Kuldeep errs in his lengths, he could travel.

Kuldeep has the variations and control, KOB has the power, this battle in the middle overs promises to be an interesting watch.
