In an all-important IPL 2024 clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants, taking place at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, KL Rahul won the toss and asked Pat Cummins-led side to bat first.
In a significant development, LSG have brought Quinton de Kock back in the playing XI, while Mohsin Khan, who suffered a head injury in their previous fixture, missed out. For SRH, Sri Lanka’s young spinner Vijayakanth Viyaskanth will make his debut, while Sanvir Singh has come in to replace Mayank Agarwal.
With six wins and five defeats, Sunrisers Hyderabad are placed fourth on the points table, behind KKR, Rajasthan Royals, and Chennai Super Kings. Lucknow Super Giants, who are sixth on the chart, have same number wins and defeats as Sunrisers, making it a delightful contest for viewers.
