Rishabh Pant has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2024. “The pitch is looking good and we are playing with an extra batter and that’s why we are bowling first. We could see dew in the second innings. For me, the venue doesn’t matter as we will have to play good cricket on the given day,” Rishabh Pant said.
Pat Cummins would have bowled first as well. “It is the first match of the season over here. Our batters have done well and that allow our bowlers to concede runs. Nevertheless, we are looking forward to the game against Delhi,” Pat Cummins said.
