The winning streak of Punjab Kings captained by Shreyas Iyer was stopped by Rajasthan Royals. This is PBKS’s first defeat in IPL 2026 after 8 matches. With this victory, RR has reached third place in the points table. Talking about the match held on Tuesday, Punjab, batting first, had made a huge score of 222 runs, but could not defend it.

3 big reasons for the defeat of Punjab Kings

Lack of ‘execution’ in bowling: Punjab Kings had made a big score of 222 runs. Rajasthan made a fast start, but when Yashasvi Jaiswal was out, Punjab Kings could have made a comeback, but the bowlers could not execute their plans properly like slow balls or yorkers. While the ball was coming haltingly on the pitch, Punjab bowlers bowled many full toss balls, these fast balls.

Poor bowling in death overs: Especially Arshdeep Singh and Lockie Ferguson gave away a lot of runs in the death overs, which was a major reason for the defeat of Punjab Kings. Both the bowlers were bowling at a fast pace and there was no mix-up in their pace. Because Ferreira and Dubey scored runs by taking advantage of the speed of the ball, if there was a mix-up here then perhaps the batsman would have got trapped.

Shreyas Iyer’s slow innings: Of course, the score of 222 runs was big, but seeing the way Punjab Kings had started, it seemed that their score was only 20-25 runs less. This happened twice in the middle overs when more than 10 balls were hit without a boundary. While Marcus Stoinis played an explosive inning of unbeaten 62 runs in 22 balls, taking the team’s score to 222, captain Shreyas Iyer scored only 30 runs in 27 balls.
