As the Royal Challengers Banglore and Sunrisers Hydrabad face each other tonight in match 52 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, we’re almost at the end of the league stages of the Indian Premier League 2021. The race for the 4th spot in the playoffs is getting immense and a lot at stake for the teams bidding. However, nothing to worry about in tonight’s encounter, as RCB have already qualified and SRH are out of the qualification race.
A win for Virat Kohli and team will make their chances stronger to finish in the top 2. Meanwhile, SRH will look to add 2 points under their belt as it’s been a dismal IPL 2021 campaign for them.
Milestones to watch for in today’s encounter between RCB and SRH
#1. AB de Villiers is a six away from smashing 250 IPL sixes
Although AB de Villiers hasn’t been at his absolute best in this edition of the IPL 2021, he has surely been one of the greatest assets for RCB over the years. His unorthodox batting style has been cherished by fans all over the world.
He has 249 sixes to his name in the IPL so far. If the former South African manages to clear the ropes one more time tonight, he will become only the second player after Chris Gayle to hit 250 IPL maximums.
We are yet to witness a special knock from De Villiers this season, but can today be the day? Let’s wait and watch for what happens.
