Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Punjab Kings have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants in match 13 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, here at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
For Punjab, New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson is making his debut for the franchise.
Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer said, “We are going to bowl first. It's a new ground, new pitch, dew could be a factor as well and this being a red-soil pitch, we want to chase. The players have the freedom to express themselves. You have to play the situation, the important goal is to win. We try to keep things simple. We don't know how the pitch is going to play but we have to adjust quickly. Lockie comes into the team.”
