It’s Virat Kohli vs Steven Smith time at IPL 2020. A contest that is bound to dominate sports pages, web pages and social media over the next three months when India tour Australia. Part of this season’s first double-header, Saturday’s afternoon clash in Abu Dhabi between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Rajasthan Royals, however, promises to be a relatively milder prelude. At stake, though, is the No. 1 spot in the points table, a position neither side has been in too often. Both teams are into only their fourth game this season, but the mood is contrasting in the two camps: the Royal Challengers are coming off a Super Over win against the Mumbai Indians; the Royals off a pounding at the hands of the Kolkata Knight Riders. For a change, Kohli’s men appear settled combination-wise, but will have to answer one burning question: how much workload is too much workload for AB de Villiers?
