‘Rising Pune need Tiwary up the order’
The Australia captain and vice-captain walked out for the toss at a venue they must both hold close to their hearts after their historic Test win earlier in the year. Steven Smith won the toss for Rising Pune Supergiant, and expectedly chose to field at a ground where no target is considered safe. More successful in the IPL than his national captain, David Warner said his Sunrisers Hyderabad would have done the same.
Both sides made changes. Having had a long break, Rising Pune gave 17-year-old offspinner Washington Sundar his Twenty20 debut, getting a game ahead of legspinner Rahul Chahar. He became the third-youngest IPL player after Sarfaraz Khan and Pradeep Sangwan. Sunrisers were forced to make a change with Yuvraj Singh falling sick. They replaced him with left-arm spinner Bipul Sharma.
