Surprised with the form shown by Punjab Kings. When the season started, I thought that Punjab was one of the weakest teams. Apart from Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal, they don't have any star batsmen and in bowling they were overdependent on Kagiso Rabada. But some of the non-star players have performed exceptionally for Punjab this time, including Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Arshdeep Singh and Liam Livingstone. On the other hand, CSK were one of the favorites but Jadeja's captaincy is very poor.
Shikhar Dhawan played really well for the Punjab kings and I am really surprised to see why Mitchell Santner did not complete his four overs! Because in my opinion, he could have been the best bowler on the team if he had been given the chance.
Chennai Super Kings leaked a lot of runs. for the Chennai Super Kings, Ambati Rayudu played well and some will say even a better inning than Shikhar Dhawan, But that was not enough. I actually think Kagiso Rabada was the key factor for Punjab Kings in that match because in his four overs he bowled really economically and his economy was less than 6 in a high-scoring match.
) does not broadcast the series so we are not much aware. I only check the thread for updates. I tried to count the teams and I stoped in the middle - oh Gosh how do they manage such a big tournament. We have only 4 teams. So they create so much hype when its on!
