Sometimes you should move forward by keeping your ego in the pocket- Tom Moody
In the first qualifier of IPL 2025, Punjab Kings lost against Royal Challengers Bangalore. RCB bowlers first covered Punjab on a score of just 101 runs. After this, lost two wickets and achieved the target in the 15th over. Seeing the batting of Punjab, no one was convinced that this is the same team that performed amazing batting during the league phase.
Captain Shreyas Iyer flopped once again against RCB. He has been able to score only 15 runs in three innings against RCB in IPL 2025. During this time his average is only 5. Former Punjab coach Tom Moody has responded to this batting. Moody was the coach of Punjab -based franchise from 2008 to 2010.
He did not understand the situation of the game
Talking to ESPNcricinfo, Tom Moody said, ‘The first ball played and missed, the right line you expect from Hazlewood. Then he was dismissed on the third ball. According to me, he did not fully understand the situation of the game and his position. Yes, they would know that Hazlewood has dismissed him several times before.
He further said that, ‘Sometimes you should move forward by keeping your ego in the pocket. For me this was an accurate example of not reading the situation. Whatever happened in the past, one should try to improve it.
RCB has reached the finals directly after defeating Punjab in Qualifier-1. At the same time, PBKS will take on the winning team of Eliminator in Qualifier-2 in Ahmedabad on Sunday, June 1. After the crushing defeat against RCB on Thursday, Punjab Kings would like to perform better and make it to the finals.
