Speaking after the sport, PBKS skipper Shikhar Dhawan did not mince phrases as he admitted that the bowlers did not bowl tighter strains, which helped MI batters within the chase.

“We started off quite well and thought that was a very good total but unfortunately we could not defend it. I feel that, of course Rishi bowled really well, but from the other end, we bowled outside the off stump quite a bit and we should have bowled on off in the powerplay. And then Ishan and Surya just took the game away.

“We ought to have bowled tighter strains. Because we noticed the wicket and noticed it is an excellent wicket, we thought change of tempo will work rather a lot and I really feel Nathan bowled rather well however different bowlers did not step up immediately. There was dew on the sphere and the wicket obtained a bit higher, I felt that if one spinner will get hit then it will get laborious to include runs,” he said.

Following the defeat, PBKS are placed 7th in the points table with 5 wins in 10 matches.
