It would be interesting to see if he would be able to pull through with the run chase against RCB.

Prabhsimran Singh

Josh Hazlewood

Aussie speedster, Josh Hazlewood, has been having brilliant form in this IPL season. He has took 21 wickets and still has space to climb up the ladder in today’s match. He is in 4th place on the podium and is ready to showcase his prowess as a bowler.
