Why Mitchell Marsh is not in Lucknow Super Giants’ playing XI?
However, the match saw a change in LSG’s lineup, with Mitchell Marsh absent from the playing XI. Pant revealed at the toss that Marsh is unavailable due to a family emergency: his daughter is unwell. As a result, Himmat Singh replaced Marsh in the home team’s playing XI.
Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, would also have preferred to bowl first. Gill expressed confidence in his team’s all-round contribution, with Washington Sundar replacing Kulwant Khejroliya in their lineup.
