Welcome to Match 3 of IPL 2016.

It is the tale of two new skippers who are not only desperate to get their teams off to a winning start but also keen to overturn their personal form with the bat. Suresh Raina experienced an indifferent form in the recently concluded Twenty20 World Cup and David Miller's numbers have been poor for some time now. Considering the fact that he will be occupying an overseas player's slot, the pressure will only keep mounting.
