The Punjab Kings salute pair (Priyansh Arya and Prabhasimran Singh) made a slow start, although it seemed that the middle order batsmen including captain Shreyas Iyer would cover it, but this could not happen. Shashank Singh scored an unbeaten 61 in 30 balls but no other batsman could support him and the team lost the final by 6 runs.
5 criminals of Punjab Kings defeat in the final
Prabhasimran Singh shared 43 runs with Priyansh Arya and then 29 runs with Josh English, but he batted very slowly. He scored 26 runs and played 22 balls for this. While he hit 2 sixes. That is, if they remove those 2 shots, they scored 14 runs in 20 balls.
Shreyas Iyer
Of course, the whole season Shreyas Iyer’s bat has gone well, he should join the top 5 runs scorer and be the highest run -scorer batsmen for Punjab Kings, but he is also a guilty of the final defeat. When Prabhasimran was dismissed, Punjab scored 72 runs in 8.3 overs, Punjab was in good condition but he returned to the pavilion after scoring just 1 run. This increased the pressure on the team.
Nehal Vadhera
Vadhera ruined a lot of balls in the middle order, causing Punjab to fall behind. Vadhera scored 15 runs in 18 balls in the final against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Marcus Stoinis
Stoinis finally needed a good innings, he also hit a six on the first ball but was caught out by playing irresponsible shots on the next ball. He could not read a slow ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and only bathed, and the ball went straight into the fielder’s hands.
Kyle jaimison
In the IPL final, the most expensive bowler for Punjab Kings was Kyle Jeemison, who took 3 wickets but also took runs from the economy of 12. He conceded 48 runs in his 4 overs spell.
