Zimbabwean and Punjab Kings all-rounder Sikandar Raza comes in as the Impact Player for his Indian Premier League team in the clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where the Kings are crawling in the middle.

Raza has substituted Prabhsimran Singh into the Playing XI, meaning PBKS won't be able to use speedster Kagiso Rabada in the ongoing clash. 

However, it was a merry outing for the Zimbabwean as the Impact Player fell cheaply while trying a ramp shot off Umran Malik's bowling, ending his stay at 5 off 6 balls.

In a desperate state, Punjab substituted Raza over the likes of KG Rabada, but it may backfire on them as the latter could have turned the tables for them as Umran Malik's extra pace has done for Hyderabad in the first innings. Nevertheless, Raza can also bowl off-spin in the second innings, and the wicket is gripping.

Under Shikhar Dhawan's leadership, PBKS have started their IPL campaign with two victories off their first two matches, which they did for the first time in IPL history.

On the flip side, Hyderabad lost both their opening matches; however, it seems their fortunate have changed entirely.

At the time of writing, the Kings have lost seven wickets with 77 runs on the board after 11.3 overs with skipper Shikhar Dhawan in the middle, but only to watch his teammates walk in and crawl back.
