After some much-needed rest, we are ready to take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in our upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday. The evening fixture will start at 7:30 PM IST.

Led by our talismanic captain Rishabh Pant, we will be aiming to bag two crucial points against the Kings in order to strengthen our position on the IPL 2025 points table.

With five wins in 10 games, we are currently placed sixth on the standings and are in contention for the IPL 2025 playoffs.

Meanwhile, our boys will look to return to winning ways after we went down fighting against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.

Despite valiant efforts from our bowlers, MI posted 215/7 in their 20 overs. For the Super Giants, Mayank Yadav and Avesh Khan were the standout bowlers with two wickets each.

Apart from Mayank and Avesh, Ravi Bishnoi, Prince Yadav and Digvesh Rathi also chipped in with one scalp apiece.

Later, Ayush Badoni (35), Mitchell Marsh (34), Nicholas Pooran (27) and David Miller (24) kept us in the hunt, however, it wasn’t enough as we fell short by 54 runs.

Meanwhile, Nicholas Pooran has been our leading run-scorer in IPL 2025. Our Caribbean superstar has amassed 404 runs in 10 matches at an impressive strike rate of 203.01, while also maintaining an average of 44.88.

Our opening duo of Mitchell Marsh (378 runs) and Aiden Markram (335) have also been in brilliant form in the ongoing tournament.

Talking about our bowlers, Shardul Thakur has been our top wicket-taker with 12 scalps, while Digvesh and Avesh have 10 wickets each.
