SRH vs LSG IPL 2025: Captains' Thoughts

Rishabh Pant (Lucknow Super Giants Captain): "We are going to bowl first. With the way our team is playing, we would like to get them out early. I think it definitely depends on the team combination. With the way our team is batting, we have decided to bowl first. Even if the other team scores 240, we will be able to chase it. The only change is Avesh Khan comes in and Shahbaz misses out tonight. See, it doesn't matter how many runs they score. We are going to chase them down."

Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain): "It doesn't really change the way our boys go about it. Play the conditions in front of you, asses it very quickly is always a positive option. I think it's great fun actually. You know what you are signing up for. In this competition if you bowl an over that goes for 10-11 or sometimes 12 and that could be a match winning one. It's about recalibrating your expectations and just playing out what's in front of you. I think the world's changed a bit now and we don't worry about games as a team. Don't judge ourselves against a team or on a venue. Just bat big and then look to defend it. We are playing the same team."
