The first match of the second doubleheader of the IPL 2021 season is being played between Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In this match going on at Chepak Stadium in Chennai, Punjab captain Lokesh Rahul won the toss and decided to bat first. Nothing has gone so far in IPL for these two teams. Sunrisers Hyderabad is at the 8th position in the points table after losing all three matches. At the same time, Punjab's team is at number 7, winning 1 out of 3 and losing 2.
Both team-
Punjab: Lokesh Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Moises Henriques, Nicholas Pooran, Deepak Hooda, Shah Rukh Khan, Fabian Allen, M Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh
Hyderabad: David Warner, Johnny Bairstow, Kane Williamson, Virat Singh, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, Kedar Jadhav, Rashid Khan, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Khalil Ahmed, Siddharth Kaul
Punjab batting is dependent on captain Lokesh Rahul
Talking about Punjab, his batting has been revolving around Captain Lokesh Rahul till now. As soon as they failed, the team appeared scattered like leaves. The middle-order is still failing. At the same time, there is no life in bowling. Mayank Agarwal may have put a fifty in the last match against Delhi Capitals. But he has not been a consultant. Chris Gayle's best score this season has been just 40 runs and he too has not appeared in his full form.
Meredith and Richardson could not do anything special yet
Talking about the bowlers, Punjab bought Jay Richardson and Rylee Meredith in the auction. They have failed in it so far. No bowler from Punjab has shown form except for the death over or powerplay Mohammed Shami. The spinners have also been a problem for the team. In the last match, all-rounder Jalaj Saxena was included in the team by replacing Murugan Ashwin, but they proved to be quite expensive.
All SRH batsmen fail, except Warner and Bairstow
The condition of Hyderabad is also somewhat similar to Punjab. Barring captain David Warner and Johnny Bairstow, all the batsmen in the team have failed. Both of them scored 67 runs in the previous match, chasing 151 runs. After this, the team was choked and from 90/3 the team was all out for 137 runs. The SRH team also lost 96/2 to 142/9 wickets against Bengaluru.
