IPL 2024: Dhawan Ruled Out As RR Elect To Bowl First Against Punjab Kings
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Punjab Kings' skipper Shikhar Dhawan has been ruled out of their clash against Rajasthan Royals as captain Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to bowl first in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium here on Saturday.
The good news for ninth-placed PBKS in their third game of IPL 2024 is that the big-hitting Liam Livingstone is back, while Atharva Taide comes in for Dhawan, who has a niggle. “We would have bowled first as well, but we'll now have to put the runs on the board.”
“The balance has been good, we'd have liked to win a few more games, but the middle-order looks good, especially Shashank and Ashutosh. We've got exciting players and plenty of quality,” said stand-in captain Sam Curran, which is surprising considering Jitesh Sharma is the designated vice-captain.
