Ekana Cricket Stadium mein Tuesday raat ka IPL 2025 clash super exciting ban gaya jab Punjab Kings (PBKS) ke captain Shreyas Iyer ne toss jeet kar pehle bowling ka faisla kiya against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Shreyas Iyer ne kaha: “Hum pehle bowling karenge. Ye naya ground hai, dew factor ho sakta hai aur red-soil pitch hone ki wajah se hum chase karna chahte hain. Players ko full freedom hai khud ko express karne ka. Hum situation ke according khelenge. Lockie team mein aaya hai aaj.”
Rishabh Pant ne kaha: “Hum bhi pehle bowling karna chahte the, lekin batting se bhi khush hain. Crowd kaafi excited hai, aur hum apna best denge. Team mein koi changes nahi hai.”

🧱 Pitch Report – Kya Kehte Hain Experts?
Deep Dasgupta ka analysis: “Red-soil pitch hai, jisme pace aur bounce thoda zyada hai. Dimensions bhi bowlers ko thoda help karte hain. 70m ek side, 64m doosri side aur 77m straight. Grass even hai aur batting ke liye best lag rahi hai. Agar mein captain hota, toh chase karna prefer karta.”
📊 LSG vs PBKS – Head-to-Head Ka Sach
IPL ke itihas mein LSG aur PBKS 4 baar aamne-saamne aaye hain. LSG ne 3 matches jeete hain jabki PBKS sirf 1 match hi jeet payi hai.
