Captaincy Picks for Hyderabad vs Punjab
Mayank Agarwal (Punjab)
Mayank Agarwal was in excellent form in Punjab’s previous match against the Rajasthan side. The right-hander scored an attractive 67 off just 43 deliveries and demolished the Rajasthan bowling attack. Agarwal is the third-highest run-scorer in the 2021 edition of the Indian T20 league and has scored 327 runs in 8 innings at an average of 46.71.
Rashid Khan (Hyderabad)
Rashid Khan produced a good performance with both bat and ball in Hyderabad’s previous rubber against the Delhi side. While he scored 22 off 19 deliveries with the willow, the right arm spinner picked up a wicket in the 4 overs that he bowled and leaked 26 runs in the process. Khan has scalped 11 wickets in the 2021 edition of the tournament and has picked his wickets at a miserly average of just 18.0.
