In what seems to be yet another tactical decision from Punjab Kings team management, Shikhar Dhawan & Co have dropped seamer Rishi Dhawan for the left-hand batter Atharva Taide who has already scored a fifty this season before getting dropped from the side. Taide is most likely to bat at no 3 for Punjab Kings, a position where he has scored a fifty already. Check what Shikhar Dhawan, the PBKS captain said at the toss,

“We will bowl first. It is a new track. We will see how it goes. Destiny is in our hands. Just gonna come and enjoy this evening. Just to stay calm and focus on your process. We have two changes. Taide and Rabada come in.”
