PBKS vs RR IPL 2023: Why is Nathan Ellis Not Playing Today’s Match IPL?

Punjab Kings are hosting Rajasthan Royals and haven’t made any changes to their eleven. As Punjab is batting first, they have kept Nathan Ellis amongst the substitutes who could come in as an Impact Player in the second innings when PBKS bowls. Currently, Punjab have only opted for three overseas players in their eleven including Kagiso Rabada, Sam Curran, and Liam Livingstone. Therefore, Ellis could come in as an Impact player later on. Check out what Punjab Kings’ skipper Shikhar Dhawan said at the toss,

“Last match, dew wasn’t much. First batting or second, it shouldn’t change much. We will come and enjoy the game. Will try to give our best shot. We need to take more wickets in the first 6 overs. We can cash in more. We are playing the same team.“
