Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League 2025. “We will bowl first. You never know how the wicket will behave, so it is better to chase. We haven’t played to our potential so it is important to show that in the remaining games. We will try some new players as a couple of guys are injured or unavailable,” Pat Cummins said.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant was ready to do anything. “We don’t mind doing anything. You will have to bat and bowl well. We are taking one match at a time and giving our 100 percent. There is no point in putting us under pressure. We have regrouped well as a team,” he said.
