Punjab Kings were without their regular skipper

SRH
Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal

PBKS captain Mayank Agarwal didn’t play in this match and Shikhar Dhawan was made captain instead.

“Mayank got hit on his toe, he should be fine for the next game. So, there’s just one change for us- Prabhsimran is in,” Dhawan had said at the time of the toss.”

At the post-match presentation, Dhawan said: “Mayank is better and he should be ready to be back. We were 30-40 runs short and lost too many early wickets which put us behind the game. The early wickets meant we had to hold wickets and that’s where we had to mould our game. There was a middle order recovery but the early wickets cost us. The wicket had extra bounce to which we were late to adjust. The discussion with the batting will be to save wickets till the 13th-14th over, the bowlers are doing well. We need to put up complete performances and hopefully a 3-4 game turnaround which can change a season will come in.”
