Sunrisers Hyderabad

In the bowling department, Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up a couple of wickets in the first over, to showcase that he still has a lot to give to SRH, which features the likes of the captain Pat Cummins and T Natarajan performing quite well in the IPL 2024.

Lucknow Super Giants
Apart from the captain KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis, and Nicholas Pooran, none of the other batters in Lucknow Super Giants have been able to find consistency in the IPL 2024, with the absence of Quinton de Kock being strongly felt in the playing XI. The bowling department of LSG has missed the services of Mayank Yadav, who has played only four matches in the tournament due to injury, especially when the rest of the bowlers haven’t been picking up wickets regularly for them.
