PBKS vs. MI: Key battles to watch
Prabhsimran Singh vs Deepak Chahar
PBKS opener Prabhsimran Singh has been in sublime touch this season and will be looking to provide yet another strong start. But Deepak Chahar’s new-ball swing could pose early trouble for the aggressive right-hander.
Priyansh Arya vs Trent Boult
The young and fearless Priyansh Arya has embraced his role as a powerplay aggressor. However, in this encounter, he will face the seasoned Trent Boult — who has struck regularly in all phases and is a key weapon in MI’s bowling arsenal.
Rohit Sharma vs Arshdeep Singh
Rohit Sharma will be keen to bounce back after a quiet outing against DC. But he’ll be up against Arshdeep Singh, PBKS’s pace spearhead and current leading wicket-taker, who thrives in the powerplay and death overs alike.
Suryakumar Yadav vs Yuzvendra Chahal
Suryakumar Yadav, who played a gem of an innings under pressure in the last match, is expected to take on PBKS’s leg-spin ace Yuzvendra Chahal. This contest could shape the middle overs.
