The IPL 2026 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 11 is expected to be a thrilling game, as both teams head into it with very different momentum from their previous matches. Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to field.
While Priyansh Arya has come in for Nehal Wadhera for the Punjab side, Salil Arora is back in the SRH playing 11 and Praful Hinge makes his debut for the side.
