Shikhar Dhawan has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. “We want to see the total and then chase it down. We were lucky to win the last game against Gujarat. The players will have to perform as a unit to win against Sunrisers,” Shikhar Dhawan said.

Pat Cummins would have bowled first as well. “We would have bowled first as well but you can’t control these things. I am proud of the performance of the players. We have done reasonably well, barring one or two shortcomings We are working to resolve those. We are looking forward to the game,” Pat Cummins said.
