He said, “I did not understand Shikhar Dhawan’s dismissal. The keeper had come up. He was thrown out first. It is a bit surprising how he went out after the keeper came in. “You don’t usually see such mistakes from Shikhar.”
He further said, “You can see it from others but not from the summit. However, he made that mistake. It will be worth seeing how many chances this team keeps giving to Bairstow because you are giving him a lot of chances but he is not giving you results.
Bairstow has scored 81 runs in five innings in IPL 2024 at a disappointing average of 16.20. In such a situation, Punjab Kings can drop Bairstow in the upcoming match. The Punjab team will now hope that Liam Livingstone becomes fit and available as soon as possible, in such a situation Prabhsimran Singh can again be seen opening with Dhawan.
