Fri Mar 28 01:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Avesh Khan’s Return Boosts Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025 Clash Against SunRisers Hyderabad
**Hyderabad, India** – Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) received a significant boost ahead of their second IPL 2025 match against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) with the return of pacer Avesh Khan to their playing XI. Khan, who missed LSG’s season opener due to injury, replaced spinner Shahbaz Ahmed in the lineup.
LSG captain Rishabh Pant, winning the toss, opted to bowl first at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, a decision met with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd eager to witness the SRH batting powerhouse of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, known for their explosive opening partnerships. Despite the potential for a massive SRH total, Pant expressed confidence in LSG’s ability to chase any target, highlighting their strong batting lineup.
SRH captain Pat Cummins, however, welcomed the opportunity to bat first, emphasizing his team’s positive approach and their aim to put up a large score. Both teams fielded largely unchanged squads from their previous matches.
The match is anticipated to be a high-scoring affair, with some speculating that SRH could surpass the 300-run mark. However, LSG will be relying on Avesh Khan, who has a strong record against SRH, to curtail the home team’s scoring and make a significant impact on the game. The return of the experienced pacer provides a much-needed boost to LSG’s depleted bowling attack.
