Can Amit Mishra stop hard-hitting Brendon McCullum from providing Gujarat another explosive start?

Published : May 04, 2017 16:34 IST

Known for his knack of taking wickets at crucial times, Amit Mishra will be gearing up for today’s match against Gujarat Lions (GL) in hopes of keeping Delhi Daredevils (DD) in the tournament. Mishra has definitely been the best of the bowlers for DD with a total of eight wickets from nine matches played at an economy rate of 7.89. The leg-spinner has provided DD with important breakthroughs and has been able to slow down the scoring rates of opposition batsmen.

Brendon McCullum has been the epitome of power house batting for GL in the 10th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). With his experience, not only has he been able to provide fire in the batting line-up, but has also been efficient in the field too. Whether it is a six over long-off or a diving catch at long-on, McCullum has become the star of GL. With the team struggling in the bowling department, McCullum has consistently been able to smash runs collecting a total of 319 runs from 10 matches. The right-hander who fears no bowler will face the dangerous leg-spinner for the first time this season, who will save their team from another loss?
