Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan states, “We must enhance our performance by 10%”

Punjab Kings suffered a setback in their match against Lucknow Super Giants, leading to a defeat by 21 runs. Captain Shikhar Dhawan acknowledged the need for improvement in fielding, catching, and execution of plans to bounce back in the upcoming games.

Dhawan emphasized the importance of analyzing the game, addressing fielding issues and missed catches which affected their momentum. He also highlighted the impact of Liam Livingstone’s injury on the team’s batting order, crediting Lucknow bowlers for their impressive performance.

Despite a strong start, Punjab fell short of the target set by Lucknow, with bowlers like Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan putting pressure on their batting line-up. Dhawan praised the opposition’s strategy and the way they maintained the pressure throughout the game.

Looking ahead, Punjab Kings will face Gujarat Titans on April 4 in their next match. With improvements in key areas, the team aims to regroup and come back stronger in their upcoming fixtures to secure victories and climb up the points table in the ongoing tournament.
