Punjab fearless batting has been their template this season and captain Shreyas Iyer insisted they are not going to change their plans.
As quoted by the ESPN Cricinfo he said, “Absolutely. This is going to be the template, irrespective of the ground. We have variety in the batting line-up. Great hitters, great timers, scintillating to watch Priyansh bat from the outside. When I had a chat with him in the last game, he was a bit timid in his decision-making against Jofra. Tonight, he was backing his instincts. It was free-flowing and that is the mindset I want in everyone. Today, he kept on going, he was fearless and it was basically one of the top knocks I have seen in the IPL so far.”

Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra struck a good partnership in the powerplay. But as it has been the vcase this season they once again made it difficult for themselves and complicated their plot . MS Dhoni ‘s quickfire 27 of 12 balls came very late in the match as CSK succumbed to their 4th loss this season.
Punjab’s approach has helped them to be consistent throughout the season Shreyas Iyer would be hoping that luck favours him this time too.
