Punjab Kings have to play the next match against Kolkata Knight Riders and before this match, Preity Zinta’s business partner and Punjab player Glenn Maxwell is being talked about out of the team. This is said by former New Zealand fast bowler and commentator Simon Dool. According to him, Glenn Maxwell’s bat is still silent and now they need to sit on the bench. The dool said that both Ponting and Iyer will have to take this decision and in this, Punjab Kings are good.
Maxwell’s poor performance
So far this season, only 0, 30, 1 and 3 runs have been scored from Maxwell’s bat in four innings, which are only 34 runs. He has taken three wickets in bowling, but he has flopped completely in batting. Despite scoring 30 runs against Rajasthan Royals, his performance did not appear full of confidence.
‘Maxwell’s time is over’
Simon Dool believes that Punjab Kings should now give Maxwell out by giving Ajmatullah Umarjai or Josh English a chance. He said, ‘I think Maxwell has got a lot of opportunities. The way he is getting out, he will disappoint me as a coach. Umarzai or English can be included in their place.
Lockie Ferguson injury big shock
Punjab Kings fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is believed to be out of IPL 2025. He may be out of the tournament after injuries in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The dool said that the absence of Ferguson would be a big loss for the team. ‘Locky Ferguson’s absence is a big shock for the team. His bowling was important for the team in the middle overs. Now it has to be seen who Punjab Kings include their place in the team.
