Here are the top three battles to watch out for in today’s MI vs RCB clash in the IPL 2025

Hardik Pandya vs Krunal Pandya

The Pandya brothers will lock horns with each other in today’s match. Krunal showcased his gameplay in the first match taking three wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Struggling to score runs as a batter, Hardik’s bowling skills came in major highlight this season. The bowler, Hardik was in form in their last match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), picking up a fifer. Facing 28 deliveries from Krunal, Hardik has scored 16 runs so far in T20s while getting dismissed once.

Virat Kohli vs Jasprit Bumrah

This battle will be at the top of the list for the fans as two superstars of Indian cricket will be in action against each other. Virat has been in a decent touch so far this season while this game is going to be Bumrah’s first game. Still, it’s expected that facing Bumrah with that ball early into his innings, Kohli needs to be cautious. Kohli has scored 140 runs off 95 balls against Bumrah in T20s so far. Bumrah however, has dismissed Kohli five times.

Suryakumar Yadav vs Josh Hazlewood

Suryakumar Yadav has been one of the consistent batters (171 runs in four games) for MI this season while Josh Hazlewood has been in a good rhythm (six wickets in three games) so far for RCB. In 10 balls faced in T20s by Suryakumar against Hazlewood, he has scored 26 runs while being dismissed only once.
