Delhi Capitals beat Punjab Kings by 7 wickets in the 29th match of IPL 2021. PBKS batted first and posted a total of 166 on the board. PBKS skipper Mayank Agarwal was Punjab’s highest run-scorer, smashing an unbeaten 99 in just 58 balls. Chasing 167, the DC openers took DC off to a flying start. Despite Prithvi Shaw’s dismissal in the 6th over, Dhawan led Delhi’s attack against Punjab. Dhawan’s unbeaten knock of 69 in 47 balls sealed the deal for DC against Punjab. While some players performed brilliantly, some players flopped in the PBKS-DC match. That said, here is a list of 3 players who flopped in the match between PBKS and DC in IPL 2021:
3. Prabhsimran Singh (PBKS)
Prabhsimran Singh was brought in as a replacement for KL Rahul in the match against DC. However, he failed to make the most of that opportunity. In 16 balls, Prabhsimran Singh could only score 12 runs. Singh’s early dismissal heaped pressure on Punjab’s middle order to deliver. Apart from Mayank Agarwal, no other PBKS player managed to score more than 30 runs against PBKS. After such a poor outing with the bat against DC, Prabhsimran Singh might be benched for the upcoming games this season.
2. Mohammed Shami (PBKS)
PBKS’s lead pace bowler Mohammed Shami endured a dismal outing against DC in IPL 2021. In 3 overs, Shami leaked 37 runs against DC, averaging a dismal bowling economy of 12.33 runs per over. Moreover, Shami was also the most expensive bowler for PBKS against DC. PBKS skipper Mayank Agarwal will back Shami to deliver in the upcoming games for PBKS this season.
1. Ravi Bishnoi (PBKS)
At no 1 in this list is PBKS spinner Ravi Bishnoi. The bowler bowled brilliantly against RCB this season. However, he failed to replicate his performance against DC. Ravi Bishnoi was Punjab’s most expensive spinner against DC. In 4 overs, Bishnoi leaked 42 runs, averaging a bowling economy of 10.5 per over. Moreover, he failed to pick a single wicket in the entire match against DC. The youngster will be keen to make a comeback in the upcoming games for PBKS this season.
