Legspinners bowling to a left-hander a bad idea? Well, Mishra has had tremendous success against Dhawan. He has dismissed him thrice in five innings, having conceded just 39 off the 32 balls he has bowled to him in T20 cricket.
Curran has managed to keep a lid on Rahul's scoring in T20s, having conceded less than a run-a-ball (97) over the 29 balls he's bowled to him for one dismissal. With Curran likely to open the bowling, Rahul will need to find a way to break the shackles against him if Super Giants are to start well.
