Akash Chopra disappointed with Punjab Kings bowling: big statement ahead of match vs Mumbai Indians.

The great match of IPL 2025 is to be played between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians on 26 May today. The match will be held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. However, before this match, former player Akash Chopra has given a big statement about the Punjab Kings team. According to Akash Chopra, the performance of Punjab Kings has not been so good in his home, but he has played a bang cricket this season.

Let us know that, Punjab Kings have confirmed their place in the playoffs of this season. Talking about Mumbai Indians, that too has qualified in the playoffs. But whoever wins these two teams today, will confirm its place in the qualifier 1. Not only this, the losing team will play the eliminator.

Akash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel, in which he said, ‘Punjab is a strong team. However, his bowling has not been so good. We saw the same in the last match. The bowlers bowled poorly against Sameer Rizvi, Triston Stabs and Karun Nair. Yuzvendra Chahal was also not in the last match in Punjab Kings.

He defeated Rajasthan Royals, but also lost a match. This is his third home ground. It is a fact that he will also get to play matches in New Chandigarh in the playoffs. He first went to New Chandigarh and then Dharamshala and now Jaipur. This is not correct.’

Akash Chopra also presented his side for Punjab Kings’s batting lineup

Regarding the batting of Punjab Kings, Akash Chopra said, ‘Punjab has depth in batting. Marcus Stoinis is also now back into his old form. Josh English also batted amazing in the last match. Does not seem that the injury in the hand of Shreyas Iyer will see any impact. He also scored a half -century in the last match.

Both openers have batted aggressively and in this match too, there will be a focus on them. There is a slight lack of bowling, but the batsmen have played their role well.
