The King of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli is known to struggle a bit with the new ball against the left-handed seamers and so his battle with Trent Boult, the master of Powerplay bowling will be quite fascinating.
Virat has scored 69 runs off 54 balls against Boult and has got out against the RR pacer only one once. However, there have been 26 dots as well, so Kohli surely has been quiet against him and it would be interesting to see who wins the battle in this high-pressure game.

His record against Sanju is also pretty good. Samson has scored just 36 runs in 31 balls against Siraj and has got out three times as well. So, let's see how Sanju Samson tackles the might of Siraj in this big encounter.
