PBKS needs to undergo some changes. Punjab Kings haven’t sparked as well as they would have wanted. Their over-aggressive batting approach has completely backfired them and the lackluster form of Jonny Bairstow and skipper Mayank Agarwal has raised many eyebrows. Mayank needs to step up with the bat, whereas, Jonny Bairstow who has got many opportunities should be sidelined from the eleven.

Batters have been irresponsible whereas bowlers are lacking the X-factor. Problems are aplenty for Punjab Kings as both their bowling and batting have been under the pump. Arshdeep has been bowling well at the flag end of the innings but hasn’t been picking up wickets on a regular basis. Rahul Chahar and Kagiso Rabada are the only two bowlers who have been among the wickets and are not getting any support from the rest of the bowlers. On the other hand, batters have been playing some irresponsible shots and throwing their wicket away. Team management led by head coach Anil Kumble should look into these issues.
