MS vs KSO: Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Dinesh Karthik
This could be the contest where India’s former wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik turns up in the tournament. If the wicket is slightly tacky or bowler-friendly, no other batter apart from Karthik is capable of handling the situation. If he finds his form back, the veteran cricketer, also a mentor with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, will be hard to stop.
Probable Best Bowler: Harbhajan Singh
Regarded as one of the finest spinners to ever grace the game, Harbhajan Singh will be the bowler to watch out for in this contest. If the wicket is spin-friendly or slow, it will be hard to play the experienced off-spinner, as he can become even more deadly on such a pitch. His ability to give the ball some extra air can deceive the batters and lure them into playing a rash shot and eventually give away their wicket.
