Aakash Chopra a commentator, and an analyst who always writes contradicting statements on his social media this time. Aakash Chopra has raised a question against Punjab Kings (PBKS) who lost their sixth match of the league against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Mullanpur on Sunday.
Punjab Kings who always been blundered by other teams and won’t play up to the mark and lose most of the matches. So, Akash Chopra has raised a question of overseas players not performing up to the mark, and the form against other teams is very poor. Overseas players, usually have an advantage in India to play fearless cricket because in India mostly we see batting-friendly wickets on some pitches which helps batters to play aggressively.
Aakash Chopra shows regret towards PBKS Overseas Players
After the loss against Gujarat Titans Punjab Kings is on the radar by raising questions like is the combination lost somewhere? form of players? etc. So, Aakash Chopra has raised a question that Punjab Kings (PBKS) overseas players are out of form and can’t showcase their performance lacking behind in every department. On Sunday Punjab Kings VS Gujarat Titans in the Mullanpur toss was won by Skipper Sam Curran who didn’t go with them. Gujarat Titans restricted them to 142 and chased the target easily with sparing 3 wickets in hand.
Now the main question arises players like Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, etc. are out of form and can’t generate the scores into big. Aakash Chopra has said in his YouTube video.
“When you came to bat, you were unable to play spin. The truth is that you surrendered against spin, whether it was Sai Kishore, Noor Ahmad, or Rashid Khan. You didn’t have any idea. Please hire your overseas recruits carefully next time because your overseas recruits are letting you down day after day after day,”
Aakash Chopra has raised one more question on team selection as Shikhar Dhawan has been injured and missed a couple of matches since then they have been in search of form and have not been able to reach the winning mark.
“Then you also ask one more question. Why didn’t you play Rahul Chahar when you knew the pitch was going to turn? The opposing team played three spinners and all three were economical and picked up wickets as well – seven wickets between the three spinners. You had two spinners and one of them was Liam Livingstone,” he said.
From the Gujarat Titans side skipper Shubman Gill scored 35 runs and Rahul Tewatia scored 36 runs and R Sai Kishore scalped 4 wickets and was adjourned as player of the match.
