Players to watch out for in PBKS vs LSG
Piryansh Arya
The PBKS opener has been instrumental in getting his team off to flying starts in the ongoing season, having a strike rate of 245.83. However, Arya hasn’t had a big score against his name so far, and LSG could well find themselves on the receiving end of his most memorable knock of the ongoing season.
Prince Yadav
The right-arm seamer is the highest wicket-taker of the season for Lucknow with nine scalps to his name from five innings. Yadav will again hold the key for LSG in the upcoming fixture as they aim to end their losing streak.
