Finally the last day, the last blockbuster double-header Sunday of IPL is here. In the first half of Sunday, we will see the clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings. The final toss between the two has already been done. This is the most important match for both as both wanted to finish their league stage journey on a winning note. Before starting to play, Punjab Kings’s one important player will miss out on the last league match. Find out why Liam Livingstone is missing from today’s IPL 2024 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Liam Livingstone Misses Out:
Liam Livingstone, a pivotal player for Punjab, is notably absent from today’s match against SRH. His last appearance was in a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, after which he was sidelined due to a knee injury. Livingstone cited the imperative need to address his knee concerns prior to the T20 World Cup, prompting his return to England for treatment. His absence is keenly felt by Punjab, as they must adjust their strategies without his impactful presence on the field, emphasizing the importance of player fitness and readiness in the competitive world of cricket.
Toss Update:
In today’s match against SRH, Jitesh Sharma will lead the Punjab side. Punjab Kings have won the toss and elected to bat first. This decision signals their intent to set a formidable total and put pressure on the opposition from the outset. With Sharma at the helm, Punjab will aim to capitalize on this opportunity and deliver a strong batting performance.
After winning the toss, PBKS skipper Jitesh Sharma said, “ We would like to bat. I think wicket is looking good, we want to score big and put SRH under pressure. Proud and grateful to captain my side today. We have few options because all the overseas have gone gone. Only Rilee Rossouw is gonna play. We have exciting talent waiting for their opportunity and they are gonna give their best today. Nothing to lose today, we are here to play some good cricket.”
