IPL 2026: PBKS Are Excellent At Batting, But They Need Their Bowlers To Stand Up, Says Bishop
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings are sitting at the top of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 table, but former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop believes that their bowling needs to step up in terms of execution, adding that out-batting strong opposition teams is not a sustainable formula for winning the championship.
PBKS saw their unbeaten run end when they lost to Rajasthan Royals by six wickets in New Chandigarh. Their bowlers bowled more than twice the number of slower balls compared to RR, but leaked 64 runs off 27 such deliveries without taking a wicket, which meant they erred hugely in execution and got a thorough reality check.
“Look, I think I said yesterday, and it's something that I've been thinking deeply about with Punjab because I'm a great fan of Shreyas Iyer’s leadership and also Ricky Ponting as a coach. I like the aggressive way that Punjab, not even this iteration, I go back to the 2014 Punjab Kings team that got to the final. I go back through the pandemic when Punjab were going hard.
