PUNJAB KINGS BATSMEN NEED TO SHOW CONSISTENCY

A.K.S. Satish, Assistant Editor Punjab Kings’ batting was at times brilliant, but there have been occasions when it was mediocre. This inconsistency pushed them into a perilous situation despite the presence of star

players. Consistency has never been Punjab’s

forte, and that’s why their IPL trophy cabinet is empty. In the eight games, the Kings scored

over 190 runs twice but finished under 135

three times.

Although pitches can impact scoring, a team that boasts of KL Rahul, Chris Gayle Mayank Agarwal and Nicholas Pooran should have done

better. Punjab need to win at least four to have a

chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
