Strategic Time-Out! It's been an interesting opening 9 overs so far. The bowlers have bowled fairly well and yet the batting side had a decent Powerplay. This was not due to runs off the bat but mainly due to the extras. Anuj Rawat tried to up the ante but perished and Faf du Plessis has looked out of touch so far. But with Virat Kohli alongside him, they will look to bat as deep as possible. Punjab will be looking for wickets to put their opposition under more pressure.
