Cricket royalty to lead challenge Messi keen to keep PSG’S clean sheet
MONDAY 11.50PM
Virat Kohli had a quiet Test series in England, but the world is expecting him to bounce back for the Royal Challengers Bangalore when the IPL resumes. The Indian superstar is part of a prolific batting order that includes A.B. de Villiers and Aussie star Glenn Maxwell. The international duo both reached 70 when they beat Pat Cummins’ Knight Riders earlier in the tournament, and they’ll need more of the same if they want to keep their place in the top four. Kolkata has managed just two wins so far, but it has the talent to recover.

Nobody has come close to stopping PSG in France this season, and it’s easy to see why. It’s already scored 15 goals in its five wins, and it just unleashed the three-headed attacking juggernaut of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe in its midweek Champions League fixture.
PSG has weapons all over the park and is determined to win back the title it lost last year. Lyon started the season slowly, but it has won its past two games to move into seventh. It has class upfront, but it will need to produce its very best to win.
