Punjab’s aggressive approach in batting cost them the last game. Punjab Kings have been batting fearlessly this season. All their batters have been scoring runs with extraordinary strike-rate. This style of play can backfire at times and we witnessed the same in their last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Punjab batters couldn’t contain the impressive bowling line up of Sunrisers and were bundled out for 151. The batters should value their wicket and take responsibility upfront to get better scores on the board while batting first.

Mayank Agarwal’s update. Shikhar Dhawan was the stand-in skipper for Punjab Kings in the last game in the absence of Mayank Agarwal who got injured ahead of the match in the nets. In the post-match presentation, Shikhar said that Mayank will be fit for the next match and we can expect him to lead the side against DC.

Jonny Bairstow’s form is a topic of concern for the Punjab Kings. The Englishmen have failed to deliver with the bat three times in a row. However, the team management led by coach Anil Kumble might still back the dashing right-hander and we may not see any significant changes in the eleven apart from Mayank’s return in place of Prabhsimran Singh at the top.
