Indian Premier League 2023: Punjab Kings (PBKS) have kept themselves in the playoff race with a 31-run win in the match played against Delhi Capitals (DC). After this match, former Indian player Virender Sehwag has once again criticized the performance of Punjab Kings player Sam Curran. While Sehwag praised Punjab’s opening batsman Prabhasimran, he targeted Sam Curran, the most expensive player in IPL history.
Prabhsimran Singh played an excellent inning of 103 runs in 65 balls in the match against Delhi Capitals. In this match for Punjab, Sam Curran scored the second highest score for the team, who scored 20 runs in 24 balls. Punjab had scored 167 runs in 20 overs in the match.
Virender Sehwag said in his statement on Cricbuzz after the match that the opportunity given by Punjab to Prabhsimran got the result in this match. I think Punjab has benefited a lot from such players. The first time he came in the team, he was very expensive, but this time he was included in only 60 lakh rupees. But he proved his talent today.
Sehwag further said that if a player worth 60 lakh rupees makes you win 1 to 2 matches, then what can be better for you. You bought Sam Curran for Rs 18 crore, has he done anything like this till now?
Punjab still need to win their last 2 league matches
After the 31-run win against Delhi Capitals, Punjab has kept itself in the playoff race. Now after 12 matches, Punjab has a total of 12 points with 6 wins. The team is at the sixth position in the points table. Punjab still needs to win their last 2 matches. The team has to play its next match against Delhi Capitals on 17 May.
