Pat Cummins Returns Home, Sunrisers Upbeat for LSG Clash

Riding high on a 65-run win over KKR, Sunrisers Hyderabad look to continue their momentum against Lucknow Super Giants in their first home game.

Despite a season-opening loss to RCB, Sunrisers dominated KKR with a massive total of 226/8. However, the bowling attack faces a blow as captain Pat Cummins has returned home for a final scan on his back injury. He is expected to rejoin the team on April 17 pending clearance from Cricket Australia.

SRH coach Daniel Vettori expressed optimism, noting that Cummins trained well and will undergo a slow build-up to potentially return later in April.
