1. Virat Kohli Vs Akash Maharaj Singh
Virat Kohli has made 505 runs this season and needs just six more runs to take over the Orange Cap (most runs) from Suryakumar Yadav. He likes to take his time and then play his shots. He may try to take on LSG seamers, and Akash Maharaj Singh will be on his radar.

2. Nicholas Pooran Vs Lungi Ngidi
Lungi Ngidi was the game changer for RCB in their last game against CSK. He took three wickets with an economy rate of under eight. He may prove to be a lethal weapon against neutralising Nicholas Pooran's destructive power-hitting.

Nicholas Pooran likes to play aggressively and make quick runs. He has failed to play any big knocks recently in the tournament and would like to take the opportunity to tackle RCB bowlers, including Ngidi.

This battle of youngsters will be a treat for cricket fans around the world. Jacob Bethell will be playing only his third inning in the IPL, and he will face one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket right now, Mayank Yadav.

Mayank Yadav has not been effective this season so far, but he has the race pace and ability to swing the ball in the early overs. Bethell has a fine technique against seamers, and how he plays Yadav will be interesting to watch.
