In this article, we will discuss IPL 2024 for the Top 3 player battles from RR vs KKR Match 70. Indian Premier League 2024 season will witness its final league phase match of the season. It is a huge game between the two best sides of the season so far as the Rajasthan Royals take on Kolkata Knight Riders in Guwahati on Sunday. Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer will view the game as a battle of one-upmanship
Rajasthan Royals who had a great run at the start of the tournament will want to win their final game of the season. The Royals have lost their last four matches and one more loss could put their top two spot in the table under huge risk. Sunrisers Hyderabad who play earlier in the day will take the second spot momentarily and a loss for the Royals will mean they will have to play the eliminator game.
Kolkata Knight Riders on the other hand have nothing to worry about as they have 19 points from 13 games. Even a loss on Sunday will not bother Shreyas Iyer as he knows his side will play the first playoff game as the table-topping side. The one thing that will bother KKR is the loss of Phil Salt who has flown back home to fulfil his international commitments.
Here are the top 3 player battles from the RR vs KKR game on Sunday
Mitchell Starc (KKR) vs Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR)
Yashasvi Jaiswal is a dangerous batter with the ability to take apart any attack when he is in form. The young batter from Mumbai has been one of the best batters in the second of the IPL 2024 season with an attacking ton against MI followed by a fifty against SRH.
Mitchell Starc may not have had the same season that one expects out of him but the Aussie pacer is a threat with the new ball. it will be interesting to see how Yashasvi Jaiswal plays against Starc when the two meet each other on Sunday.
Yuzvendra Chahal (RR) vs Andre Russell (KKR)
Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has had an amazing season so far with the ball which has earned him a recall to the Indian side. The 33-year-old became the first bowler to get to the 200-wicket landmark in the history of the league.
Yuzvendra Chahal and Rajasthan Royals will know the threat that West Indian star Andre Russell possesses with the bat. The West Indian batter is brutal against spin and can the ball long and hard into the stand. Chahal with all his experience has outwitted the best in the business and will look to do the same when RR and KKR meet in Guwahati.
Trent Boult (RR) vs Sunil Narine (KKR)
This is a battle between the best opening batter in the IPL 2024 season against the best new ball bowler in T20 Cricket. The fans in Guwahati will be licking their lips as Sunil Narine and Trent Boult get ready for battle.
Sunil Narine has been instrumental with the bat for Kolkata Knight Riders and their run to the top of the table. The left-handed batter has also scored his first-ever T20 ton this year and made everyone take notice. Trent Boult has a reputation for being a wicket-taking bowler with the new ball. if the Kiwi can dismiss Sunil Narine early Sanju Samson will be more than relieved man.
