Tyagi though, wasn’t the only change in the lineup as the Sunrisers opted to bring left-arm pacer Marco Jansen back into the lineup in place of spinner Akeal Hosein.

SRH, who were invited to bat by KKR skipper Nitish Rana at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday, included another left-arm pacer T Natarajan, with the Tamil Nadu bowler likely to get substituted by a batter later in the game.

The Knight Riders, meanwhile, brought Roy back into the lineup in place of David Wiese. Additionally, top-order batter Narayan Jagadeesan was replaced by seamer Vaibhav Arora, whose only appearance this season came in the home fixture against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
