Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Left-arm spinner M Siddharth comes in for Lucknow Super Giants as captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and elected to bowl first against an unchanged Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
PBKS arrive into their home game after a strong win over Mumbai Indians extended their unbeaten record, whereas LSG come under a bit of pressure after suffering back-to-back defeats.
After winning the toss, Pant said Siddharth comes in place of mystery spinner Digvesh Rathi. “Coming here, we want them to set a total for us. They've been one of the best team in the tournament, but at the same time, it gives us that freedom that we can play more freely with them. Generally, I feel, playing for 220 runs is better than playing for 200 sometimes. Much better (on his elbow injury),” he said.
