Punjab Kings asked Sunrisers Hyderabad to bat first in Match 17 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Saturday.

Praful Hinge is making his IPL debut, replacing Jaydev Unadkat in the Sunrisers Hyderabad side. Salil Arora replaced Liam Livingstone as SRH made a couple of changes from the last game.

PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer informed that Priyansh Arya is in the playing XI and that Nehal Wadhera may come in as an Impact Substitute later in the match.

Speaking at the toss, Iyer said, "We're going to bowl first. It's a day game, and we obviously want to get a knack of how the wicket is going to play and get a fair idea. Other than that, that's what we've been doing in the last couple of games, and we've been thriving on it. We just back each other and back all the youngsters in the team. The more you tell them, the more confusing it gets, so it's better that they live in their own nature and express themselves. We're going with the same team. Actually, bowling first, Priyansh comes in for Nehal."

SRH skipper Ishan Kishan said, "We would have loved to bowl first, but I think the wicket looks pretty hard. It's about playing good cricket in the first innings. (On captaining) Obviously, it's a big disadvantage for any team. Pat is a tremendous bowler and brings a lot of experience, but I still feel we've got a young side and young bowlers today. Hopefully, we'll try to execute our plans, which is the most important thing in T20 cricket. There are two changes: Salil comes in for Livingstone, and Praful Hinge makes his debut in place of Jaydev Unadkat."
