IPL 2024: LSG vs PBKS, Match 11: Who said what at the toss?

Nicholas Pooran – We’ll bat first. Looks like a good track, runs on the board could be vital. KL is coming back from injury and we’re looking to give him a break in such a long tournament, but he’ll play as an impact player today. Everyone must take the opportunitiesand perform at their best.

Shikhar Dhawan – We would have bowled first, lots of dew when we came to the ground (last night). Our lines cane be tight, while batting, we can’t afford to lose wickets in clusters. It’s still early in the tournament and we’ve spoken about that in the dressing room. We’ll have to make the most of the powerplay. No changes for us.
