On Saturday, April 12, Eshan Malinga is set up on the IPL debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Kings (PBKS). Captain SRH PAT CUMMINS informed about the change in the game by XI on throwing after the captain of PBKS Shreyas Iyer won the throwing and decided first bat.
Malinga replaces his fellow countryman Kamindis Mendis in playing XI, who scored 28 runs from two matches in the season and chose one goal. The growing speedster of the right arm from Sri Lanka was purchased for RS 1.20 crore SRH in mega-auction.

The 24 -year -old man in his career T20 has so far scalp 17 goals on average 22.82 and the economy 7.70. Captain SRH PAT CUMMINS informed about the change of team to throw and expressed confidence in his team to chase anything. SRH revolves in the last place because he won only one of five matches.
“It’s okay. I think we can chase anything. It’s not an ideal start. But we’re training really well. Everyone is in good space. We’ve lost a couple in a row, but that’s not ideal. One change. Malinga comes to the side of Mendis,” Cummins said to Toss.
On the other hand, Punjab is heading for accessories without any changes, fresh from victory against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their last game.
“We will bat. In the last few games that we have fired first, we have the ability to publish a good score. We want to play some aggressive cricket, that’s our thinking at the moment. The same team,” Iyer said.
