Pant was roped in by LSG for Rs 27 crore on the mega public sale final yr. However, he has endured a disappointing season, scoring simply 135 runs in 13 matches.
Meanwhile, SRH captain Pat Cummins received the toss and opted to bowl in opposition to LSG on the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
LSG, barely hanging by a thread, is likely one of the three remaining groups competing for the final playoff spot. Currently on a three-match shedding streak, Lucknow should win their remaining fixtures to maneuver to 16 factors and hope beneficial outcomes unfold in the remainder of the clashes. New Zealand tearaway Will O’Rourke was handed his maiden Lucknow cap, marking his debut within the cash-rich league.
Their opponents have failed to copy final yr’s success and are already out of the race for the playoffs. Sunrisers, final yr’s runners-up, did not maintain momentum on their aspect all through their rustic season.
After profitable the toss, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins stated, “I will have a bowl, you never know quite what to make of the wicket, so it’s better to chase. We haven’t played to our potential, so we are trying to hit our potential. We also had a few injuries. The team has been great, they have been honest that they haven’t been at their best. Travis Head misses out, and also Unadkat misses out for personal reasons.”
Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant stated through the toss, “We don’t mind, we have got to do well. We are looking at one match at a time and not putting undue pressure on ourselves. I feel that as a team, we have regrouped well, and we are in a good space as a team. We have only one change, Will O’Rourke is making his debut.”
