Looks like a dry wicket so we’ll have a crack at it later. Means a lot, started here as a 17 year old. Getting to fill in big shoes, very excited. The impact rule helps with Sanju. The other three overseas will be Theekshana, Jofra and Farooqi. Always good to start well, we have practiced a lot,” Parag said after winning the toss. SRH captain Pat Cummins said he is happy to have lasrt season’s core and the group very similar to the last season and his side do not mind batting first. “It is great to be back. The core of the group is the same, the coaching staff is the same. Don’t think batting or bowling first matters. It is pretty hot, so don’t mind bowling second. Would be nice to keep last season’s form going. We always encourage our games to play with freedom. Abhi and Heady with hopefully continue from last year, and Nitish and Klassen are there as well. Ishan Kishan and Abhinav Manohar will be making their debuts,” Cummins said at the toss.
