Let’s take a look at which matchups are set to be interesting for viewers, given the past historical records in the competition.

Rohit Sharma Vs Arshdeep Singh

Rohit Sharma's struggles against left-arm pacers is nothing new to the world of cricket, and against Arshdeep Singh, it does not change either. They faced off 15 balls in the IPL, in which Rohit played eight dot balls, including a wicket.

Sam Curran Vs Jasprit Bumrah

Sam Curran, who led Punjab Kings last time in the previous fixture against Rajasthan Royals in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, has not done much with the bat against Jasprit Bumrah, the very best in the business. The star England all-rounder has a batting average of 9 against the ace speedster, although his strike rate stands at 150.

Suryakumar Yadav Vs Kagiso Rabada

This is going to be one mouth-watering mini-battle. We all know what SKY can bring to the table if he finds his rhythm, but at the same time, if the bowler is Kagiso Rabada, you have every right to be excited about it.

And the past records, as mentioned above, highlight the same.
