The batting has let Punjab Kings down: KL Rahul

KL Rahul, the captain of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) outfit stated that the Punjab side has produced disappointing performances with the willow in the last couple of seasons.

Rahul even stated that the role that he performs with the willow is playing on his mind, and concluded by adding that when he is leading the team, he should accept the responsibility that comes along the way as well.

“With the bat, the last couple of years have been disappointing. If I have to be honest, our batting has let us down. I’ll be lying if I say it doesn’t play on my mind that I play a role that the team demands. It’s not something that I enjoy, but when you lead the team, you have to accept the responsibility,” said KL Rahul.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore side will next take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) outfit on 6th October 2021 in Abu Dhabi, while the Punjab Kings will lock horns with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) side on 7th October 2021 in Dubai. The RCB side is currently placed at the 3rd place in the points table, while the PBKS outfit is stationed at the 5th spot.
