Hyderabad: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) won the toss and elected to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 57th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Wednesday.
LSG’s Mohsin Khan is out of the match due to injury as Quinton de Kock returns to the playing XI, while for SRH, Sanvir Singh comes in place of Mayank Agarwal and Vijaykant Vyaskanth makes his debut in place of Marco Jansen.
Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul said, “We will bat first. Apart from this, some sports have also been played here. It’s hard to completely forget how important this game is to both sides, but we’ve played enough cricket. We will focus on one thing at a time, bat first and get runs on the board. Playing at home makes a difference, but we play so much cricket that we know what the conditions will be like. Quinton comes in, Mohsin misses out and there are some other changes.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins said, “The body feels old. We also wanted to bat. We have won both ways here. So don’t worry too much. The toss is not very important. There was high scoring in both the innings. It is quite difficult, one has to win till the end. We have lagged behind in the last few matches. Sanveer comes in place of Mayank.”
Lucknow Super Giants: Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (wk/captain), Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Krishnappa Gautam, Yash Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq.
