IPL 2024: Punjab Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad look to break out of mid-table logjam
Both the teams are coming into the match after a win, and as such promises to be an exciting match on the cards.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) stand-in skipper Shane Watson won the toss and elected to field against defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad in the opening tie of the 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL) here on Wednesday.
For the hosts, 18-year-old leg-spinner from Afghanistan Rashid Khan will make his debut in the IPL while the visitors have Rajasthan medium pacer Aniket Choudhary and England's Tymal Mills as debutants at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium here.
The RCB suffered a major blow before the start of the tournament with their two key players — skipper Virat Kohli and South African AB de Villiers due to injuries — out of Wednesday's game.
