Virender Sehwag accepts the obligation of the Punjab Kings’ (PBKS) mortifying overcome to Rajasthan Royals (RR). That ought to be stuck on their openers, Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul, and no.3 batsman Aiden Markram.
Talking to Cricbuzz, Virender Sehwag said either one of Agarwal or Rahul ought to have finished the game after confronting 30-plus balls within the match. He commented that had Chris Gayle – who made way for Makram within the match – played and scored a half-century, he would not have let the group lose within the last over.
“Singling out the player for defeat would be a bit difficult for this match. I would say that luck didn’t favor them but still if we have to pick someone, it should be Mayank Agarwal. If you are in form and scoring runs then you should finish the game and not leave it on anyone else. I always talk about Ruturaj (Gaikwad), he scored 89 not out, played 20 overs, even played the last ball and hit a six which probably won the game for CSK.” said Virender Sehwag
Mayank Agarwal
“Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul should do the same because that is the responsibility of the top-3. The new batsman doesn’t know much about the pitch or how to play on it but you are there for 40-50 balls. The team shouldn’t lose like this. If it was for Chris Gayle, I guarantee that if he had scored 50-60, he wouldn’t have let PBKS lose. He would have won the game for them.” he added
PBKS traveled for the way better portion of their chase of 186 runs, with Agarwal scoring 67 off 43 conveyances and captain Rahul, 49 off 33 balls. All that changed when the following two batsmen, Nicholas Pooran (32 off 22) and Markram (26* off 20), fizzled to turn strike within the final two overs and let the group drop brief by fair two runs.
