Delhi: In the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and decided to bat first at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday. Iyer said during the toss, “We are going to bat first. In the last few matches, we have batted first and have scored good scores. We want to play aggressive cricket, this is our mindset at this time. We have seen that our record in Powerplay has not been very spectacular, but it is not in our mind.”
He further said, “Every player of our team plays in his style. We have to perform the top level and maintain confidence in our tendency. We have to repeat the same thing again and again. We are playing with the same team.”
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins made a change
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins said that the team is in good condition and is ready for the match. He informed that a change has been made in the playing XI. Cummins said, “Okay, I think we can chase any goal. Although the beginning has not been ideal, we are doing good training. All the players are in good mindset. We have lost some matches continuously, which is not an ideal situation. A change has been made, the blasphemy Malinga has been included in the team, which will play the place of Kamindu Mendis.”
Who is the blasphemy Malinga?
Ishan Malinga, his legendary compatriot Pesar Pesar, does not have a sling action like Lasith Malinga, but this young Sri Lankan fast bowler is making a mark for his accurate bowling in the death overs. Sunrisers Hyderabad bought him for Rs 1.2 crore in the IPL 2025 auction. He was one of the two uncapricated foreign players who were purchased this time, the other player was New Zealand’s Bevan Jacobs.
Shortly after the auction, the lady made her ODI debut for Sri Lanka and then played for Parl Royals in SA20 League. The lamp won a focus at the national level for the first time by winning a fast bowling competition held in Sri Lanka in 2019, where he bowled at a speed of 141 km/h. However, now he does not bowl so much fast regularly, but specializes in the art of swing with the new ball and the exact yorker in the final overs.
