LSG still hasn’t dropped Puran

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has given another chance to Nicholas Pooran. In the current season, Puran has been able to score only 82 runs in 8 innings at an ordinary average of 10.25 and a very poor strike rate of 81.18. Despite this, LSG has not dropped him from the team. Australian wicketkeeper batsman Josh Inglis is debuting for LSG.

 

Inglis was unavailable at the start of the season due to his wedding commitments. Now ready to enter the field. Due to his arrival, George Linde had to move out. Apart from this, LSG has fielded Akshat Raghuvanshi in place of Mukul Chaudhary. Captain Rishabh Pant said that there is a change in bowling also but we will decide later who will play.
