Kings Pandjab could be hammered by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Play -off Premier League, but a terrible loss was not Shreyas Iyer’s confidence. Punjab, which has been playing its first Play -off IPL since 2014, was a broken RCB Rajat Patidar on Thursday, May 29, on a spicy playground in Mullanpur.
Panjab, sent to BAT first at their home point, was associated with only 101 runs at 14.1 overs. The pandjab, who defended the total number of poor, could not keep the lid on the side of the RCB, which raced with a target for only 10 overs with 8 goals in his hand. Shreyas, who spoke after the game, said the pandjab could lose the battle, but they did not lose the war.

Asked if it was forgotten, Shreyas said he didn’t want to forget the match, and he wanted to take his lessons out of it. Iyer said he would return to the drawing board on Thursday and map the way out for the panejab of the debris of this disaster.
“It’s not a day to forget, but we had to return to the drawing board. We lost a lot of goals (in the first shifts). There is a lot to return and study,” said Shreyas Iyer in the presentation after the match.
“I have no doubt about my decisions to be honest. We did anything in terms of planning – on the basis of the country, whatever planning – I think it was in place. Just that we couldn’t do it on the pitch.
Shreyas spoke of the spicy Mullanpur playground and said he did not want to use the terms as an apology. On the day, the Punjab dough failed to face seam and spin to pack up for the lowest total season. This was also the second lowest score in the playoffs in the history of IPL.
“In all the games we played here, there was some variable reflection. We cannot mention such reasons because we are professionals at the end of the day and we have to bat accordingly and we have to live. We lost the battle but not war,” Iyer concluded.
