Punjab Kings lost their third consecutive match. In the match held on Wednesday, Sunrisers Hyderabad won by 33 runs. Batting first, SRH had scored 235 runs, although this score could have been less if the Punjab players had taken the catch easily. Not 1 or 2, Hyderabad players got a total of 4 lives. Shashank Singh once again dropped an easy catch. After the match, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer said that now a little too much is happening.
After the third consecutive defeat of Punjab Kings, Shreyas Iyer’s patience broke. He said, “It was a bit much because we dropped catches early on. After that the wicket started slowing down. Sunrisers Hyderabad players played great cricket and showed us how to win matches. I think we had a dream start to the tournament, and everyone was in very good shape. If we keep playing like this, it will do us no favors.”
Shreyas Iyer praised Cooper Connolly, who reduced the margin of Punjab’s defeat by scoring unbeaten 107 runs. If Connolly had not scored this century, perhaps Punjab would have lost by a margin of more than 100 runs. Iyer said, “Connolly is amazing. His thinking is very good. He has the special ability to score big runs even in pressure situations.”

Iyer also praised spin bowler Yuzvendra Chahal, who created many wicket opportunities. The captain said, “The way Chahal bowled, he was absolutely fearless. I had told him to bowl aggressively, especially when the new batsmen are at the crease. Our luck was bad and we could not catch the catch.”
