Multiple star players were released by Punjab Kings, ahead of Indian Premier League 2021.

But, all seems to be in vain.
Well the table says so…Tells Hirav Shah, Prolific Sports Advisor.

Meanwhile, the starry list included the likes of Glenn Maxwell as well. The team splashed the cash on Riley Meredith, Moises Henriques, and lesser-known Shahrukh Khan.

This not only allowed other teams to build up their middle order and bowling department, but also put Punjab Kings at risk.

On that note, Hirav Shah has done a Game Analysis of the “Not So Good” Performance of PBKS At The IPL.

Game Analysis of Punjab Kings

1.Better Batting Line Up Needed In The Middle for Punjab Kings : – Out of 13 matches, they have won just 5.Post their defeat from Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing IPL 2021, it is evident that the batting unit of PBKS has let the side down significantly in the past couple of years.

You don’t need to play every ball but every ball needs your judgement- Quotes Sports Astrologer, Advisor, Strategist, Hirav Shah.

That’s the Gap. That’s the flaw. That’s the squad’s drawback- Adds Hirav Shah.

The team lacks a batter in the middle order who can chip in with quick runs at the end of the innings. Basically, match winning middle order batsmen.

The last match saw RCB defeating PBKS at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium by 6 runs, after posting a target of 165 runs and then restricting the PBKS for 158 runs at the loss of six wickets.

Though Mayank Agarwal tries, but he alone can’t fill up the Gap. Some More are required in the middle who can make those important quick runs.

2.Only Individual Records of Punjab Kings : The PBKS skipper has been superb ever since he joined the squad in 2018 and in the IPL 2021, he has scored 626 runs in 13 matches. He is also the top run-scorer in the season, ahead of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson. At the same time, Rahul’s opening buddy Mayank Agarwal has scored 441 runs so far across 12 matches.

Though the skipper is a sensational Cricketer individually, the game is all about unity, teamwork and teamsmanship. That has to show. Leadership and player management also need to show. Responsibility needs to show when things go out of hand and these certainly are critical gaps.

3.Lack Of Leadership Skills for Punjab Kings : Punjab is having a terrible season this year and despite making several changes to the side, the outcomes have not gone in their favour. Now, they depend on the results of other teams in order to make it to the playoffs.

Point is, the team probably lacks an able leader with an aura. KL Rahul is good. The coach, legendary Anil Kumble is also trying hard but results are yet to show…Rahul needs work on his leadership skills, so that he can provide the squad, the much needed direction.
