The Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings IPL 2024 game brought some interesting news for the former. In the home match for LSG, KL Rahul will not be in charge and instead Nicholas Pooran will be the stand-in captain. To make things even more interesting, Rahul will not miss the match and has been named as an impact replacement. Commentators in Jio Cinema even said that he is listed as number 3 in the team list.
“KL is coming back from injury and we want to give him rest in such a long tournament but he will play as an impact player today. Everyone has to take advantage of the opportunities and perform at their best,” Pooran said.
PBKS captain Shikhar Dhawan said at the toss that they would like to bowl first. “We would have bowled first, lots of dew when we came to the ground (last night). Our lines can be tight, while batting we can’t afford to lose wickets in clusters. It’s still early in the tournament and We’ve talked about that in the locker room. We will have to get the most out of the power play. There are no changes for us,” he said.
