LSG captain Rishabh Pant said, “We have few injuries in our team. Angkrish comes in for Inglis, he’s a little injured. Mohsin is also a little injured. Shahbaz comes in for Sid.”
“See the only thing is moving with more clarity. We know we are the top players but sometimes when clarity is missing, it can happen in cricket. Most of the times, there is talk about clarity. There are few changes in the batting order, hopefully we can figure it out and take it in the next season,” concluded Rishabh Pant.
