Earlier, Pant hit his only second IPL hundred and his first since 2018 as he slammed a 54-ball hundred against RCB. He got to the milestone with a four over covers. Pant carried on and smacked 118 runs from 61 balls, laced with 11 fours and eight sixes as he displayed his jaw-dropping strokes around the park.
Lucknow slammed 227/3 led by Pant’s brilliant century. Mitchell Marsh also played a strong hand as he scored 67 from 37 deliveries. RCB had won the toss and had opted to bowl first.
Jitesh is the stand-in captain in place of Rajat Patidar, who will play as an Impact player due to his earlier hand injury that he sustained in RCB’s clash against Chennai Super Kings. “We will field first. Looks like a good wicket, we’ll fancy to chase. Rajat Patidar is our impact player. Looking to win and make it into the top 2. Tim David misses out, Liam comes in, so does Thushara, he replaces Ngidi who left the team,” Jitesh said at the toss.
“We don’t mind batting or bowling first, we did show a glimpse of the potential in our last game, but every match is a learning curve, till the last ball is bowled, we will give our 100 per cent. Few changes – Breetzke is in and Digvesh Rathi is back in,” LSG skipper Rishabh Pant said at the toss.
