Who Is Himmat Singh? [Source: @BrahmaKoli86502/X.com]
The Lucknow Super Giants captain, Rishabh Pant made a shocking call at toss time as there was no Mitch Marsh in the playing XI. Eyebrows were raised as Marsh was LSG's best batter throughout the tournament and was vital to their success so far. However, his absence is not due to any injury or tactical call.
His daughter is ill and as a result, the Aussie opener will miss the contest against Gujarat Titans. In his place, Himmat Singh, the Delhi player comes into the playing XI.
Who is Himmat Singh? The batter who replaced Marsh
Pant made a bold call by including Himmat Singh in the playing XI. He plays for Delhi in the domestic circuit and is a valuable batter who can also chip in with right-arm off-break bowling.
He had many exploits in the domestic circuit for the Delhi domestic team and the LSG side bolstered their domestic Indian core with the signing of Himmat for INR 30 lakh. He also played a key part in East Delhi Riders win in the inaugural edition of the Delhi Premier League, last season.
In 55 T20 matches, the talented batter has accumulated 917 runs with a strike-rate of 132.51. For LSG, he can open as well as can bat in the middle order. He will look to score some runs as LSG need 181 to win.
