Hyderabad, April 5

Lucknow Super Giants have put Sunrisers Hyderabad to bat first in match 10 of the Indian Premier League 2026 being played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday.

The LSG made one change in the team by bringing in Manimaran Siddharth in place of Anrich Nortje. SRH, led by the stand-in captain Ishan Kishan, has made a couple of changes, bringing in Harshal Patel and Liam Livingstone.

SRH started their IPL 2026 campaign with a defeat against the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the season opener and then went on to beat the Kolkata Knight Riders by 65 runs.

The LSG are looking for their first win of the season after suffering a six-wicket defeat in the last match against the Delhi Capitals.

The SRH are playing their first home game of the season. Reacting to that during the toss, SRH captain Ishan Kishan said, "It's always good to get your home support, and the crowd loves the SRH team. So yeah, very happy to be here."

Speaking about the changes in the team, he said, "There are just two changes. Livingstone comes in, and Harshal Patel comes in. Harshal Patel has done well whenever he's bowled here. And Livi, giving him an opportunity to use his off-spin as well against the left-handers."

Interesting team changes! Bringing in Siddharth for Nortje is a big call. Hope it pays off. SRH's batting looks very strong on paper with Head, Abhishek, and Klaasen. Should be a high-scoring game! 🏏

As an SRH fan, a bit worried about the bowling. Harshal Patel's form has been up and down. Unadkat will need to lead the attack. But the home crowd support should give them a boost! Orange Army, let's go! 🧡

Respectfully, I think LSG's batting order looks a bit fragile after Markram and Pooran. They are relying too much on Pant and Marsh at the top. SRH should target their middle order.

Ishan as captain is a good move. He's aggressive and reads the game well. But the real test is handling pressure in a home game. Hoping for a cracking match! 🤞
