Punjab chased down the target in 16 overs for the loss of 2 wickets. GT suffered its second defeat of the season. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra gave his opinion about what was the biggest reason for this.

He also expressed concern over Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill failing with the bat. Gill scored 9 runs in 6 balls against Punjab Kings and captain Hardik Pandya could score just 1 run in 7 balls. Chopra says that David Miller and Rahul Tewatia will not win matches every time.

"It's just that they got new heroes, eight games, and eight different men of the matches. That's fine, but if you bat first and only score 140 runs, you're going to win a game," he said. are not." Despite the defeat, the team that debuted with this season of IPL is at number one in the points table.
