The excitement has started to build up in the run-up to the upcoming IPL season. There have been some major changes in teams with a buzzing IPL auction changing the equations before the next season. In this article, we will go through 3 key Head-to-Head battles between players in IPL 2024.
Rohit Sharma vs Rashid Khan
This has been one of the most interesting individual contests over the seasons. Both these players have got the better of each other on multiple occasions. The battle is tilted towards the Afghan spin talisman as he has kept the Indian captain in check. The two have come against each other 6 times in IPL and the former Mumbai Indians captain has only scored 29 runs against Rashid whereas the Afghan has dismissed Rohit 4 times. Once again, these two will lock horns in the upcoming season of the IPL and it will be interesting to see who will have the upper hand.
Rashid Khan vs Hardik Pandya
Here is another player battle involving Rashid Khan. This contest is not worth watching purely based on the stats but it is the psychological battle that will be more riveting. Until last season Rashid was playing for Gujarat Titans under the leadership of Hardik. The duo played an instrumental role in the franchise’s success leading the team to glory in 2022. This was the year when they won the first title in their very first attempt. Now Hardik has returned to Mumbai Indians as the captain and the meeting between the two will be enthralling to watch for the spectators.
Virat Kohli vs Mitchell Starc
The battle between two former teammates will be interesting. Mitchell Starc will feature in the IPL after a long hiatus and the fans are eagerly waiting for the Australian to showcase his skills. Starc will play in the Kolkata Knight Riders’ jersey in IPL 2024. The rivalry between KKR and RCB has been fierce and the contest will be more interesting with two of the best players going against each other in the biggest franchise league. Fans are waiting for the battle between the stars, Virat Kohli and Mitchell Starc.
