The 69th match of IPL 2024 will be played between Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad on 19 May. This match will be played at Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium, the home ground of Hyderabad. This match may not matter for Punjab Kings, but Sunrisers Hyderabad will try their best to win this match. If SRH is successful in winning this match then it will come second in the points table.
Star player got responsibility
Rajasthan Royals are currently at second position in the points table. But if Hyderabad wins this match tomorrow then it will come to second place. In such a situation, this match is becoming very important for Hyderabad. Neither Shikhar Dhawan nor Sam Curran will captain Punjab Kings in this match. In his place, young player Jitesh Sharma has been given the command of the team in this match. Let us tell you that Shikhar Dhawan has been injured for a long time, due to which he is out of many matches. In Dhawan's absence, Sam Curran was given the command of the team, but due to national duty, Sam has also returned to his country. In such a situation, Jitesh Sharma will take charge of the team. Jitesh Sharma will become the 16th captain of Punjab Kings.
