IPL 2024: Bairstow In, Starc Out As PBKS Elect To Bowl First Against KKR
Kolkata Knight Riders: Punjab Kings’ stand-in captain Sam Curran won the toss and elected to bowl first against Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 42 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Eden Gardens on Friday.
KKR are in second place in the points table with 10 points coming in via five wins from seven matches. PBKS, on the other hand, are languishing in ninth place with four points and are on a four-match losing streak.
After winning the toss, Curran said wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow had come into the playing eleven in place of Liam Livingstone. “We had four games at home, unfortunately, lost all four, guys are ready for the away games though. We know what we need to do from here, just go out and play,” he said.
