Both Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson have had a very ordinary season so far in the Indian Premier League. They will need to fire in this crunch game for their respective sides when Sunrisers Hyderabad take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on 8 May.
Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad, have lost three successive matches and will need to get back to their winning ways if they want to be in contention for the playoffs. So far, they have 10 points in 10 matches and are part of the mid-table muddle.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore broke their losing streak with a convincing win over the Chennai Super Kings in their last contest. While their batting is still underperforming, their bowling has kept them in the playoffs race. However, the onus is now on the top order to give the side starts so that the likes of Dinesh Karthik and Glenn Maxwell can go for the kill in the death overs.
