New Delhi: Punjab Kings (PBKS) stand in captain Sam Curran decided to bowl first against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Saturday, April 15 at the Ekana Sport City.  Dhawan has picked up a shoulder niggle.

Skipper Talks

“We’ll bowl first. Something we haven’t done all season so just needed a change up. Also our first toss that we have won this season. Shikhar picked up an injury last game, don’t know how bad it is but hopefully he won’t be out long. His absence is huge, we’ve got two Indian batters coming in and Raza is back in the XI. The conditions looks good,” Sam Curran, PBKS skipper said after toss.

“First game on this strip, anything would have worked. It is exciting to challenge ourselves on different conditions. It is our first season here, so each game we’ll assess and modify. Every game we make a few changes, settle on a 12-13 and take a call depending on the game. Each game we have turned up and we have been challenged every time, but players have found answers. Everyone is enjoying the game and there is a good vibe around, really happy with the support we have got out here,” KL Rahul, LSG skipper said at the toss.
