The performance of Punjab Kings in IPL 2024 has been disappointing so far. They have won only 2 of their 6 matches while losing 4. With this record, Punjab Kings are currently placed in eighth position with only 4 points. The question arises where are Punjab Kings making mistakes? How can they improve their performance? England's World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan has this time shared his thoughts on where he can improve.
Where are Punjab Kings going wrong?
Eoin Morgan suggests that the responsibility of scoring runs is on the Punjab Kings batsmen. Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone need to step up their game and improve their performances. Also, Punjab Kings management will have to make a decision regarding Jonny Bairstow. If Punjab Kings wants to include Jonny Bairstow in the playing eleven, then they should try him at number three. Alternatively, Punjab Kings may consider including Reece Topley in the playing eleven in place of Jonny Bairstow.
"Punjab Kings management needs to have faith in Sikandar Raza"
Eoin Morgan believes that Punjab Kings management should show confidence in Sikandar Raza. He also expects a better performance from Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone. If this happens then the challenges of Punjab Kings may be reduced. It is worth noting that Jonny Bairstow's performance this season has been very poor and he has scored only 96 runs in 6 matches. Questions have been raised about his poor form. It will be interesting to see whether Jonny Bairstow is included in the playing eleven against Mumbai Indians or not...
