The two sides have met only once before in Ahmedabad, in the 2024 season, with Punjab Kings claiming a three-wicket win.
He says he wants to change the stigma around New Zealand that keepers can’t bowl. Phillips also says that he hates keeping and that it bores him. 
He may be renowned for his stunning catches in the outfield, but Glenn Phillips has transitioned into a proper allrounder despite rising through the ranks as a wicketkeeper-batter.
In September, Musheer and his father Naushad were en route to Lucknow from Azamgarh, their hometown, for the Irani Cup game between Mumbai and Rest of India, when he met with the accident.
