India and Punjab Kings' pacer Arshdeep Singh did not have the brightest of starts in the IPL this year but a back-to-basics approach, including a lot of "target bowling" in the nets, has helped him regain his form, says his franchise coach Sairaj Bahutule. For the first time in three matches at the Wankhede Stadium, where batters have ruled the roost, Arshdeep turned up with a terrific opening spell accounting for Ryan Rickelton (2) and Suryakumar Yadav (0). He later dismissed Sherfane Rutherford (1) to return 4-0-22-3 on Thursday night. Apart from striking in different spells, Arshdeep got the new ball to swing and move off the surface precariously while nailing most of his yorkers correctly at the death. "He started off with his first two games really well and then because of the (nature of) pitches, there are lots of demands in terms of variations and sometimes, what happens is (that) you forget to bowl your stock ball," Bahutule, who is PBKS' spin bowling coach, told reporters
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya was left searching for answers after yet another IPL defeat -- a seven-wicket drubbing at the hands of Punjab Kings -- and admitted that his team needs to go back to the drawing board to identify its shortcomings, while hinting that some tough calls could be taken in the upcoming matches. Mumbai Indians have lost four of their five matches and are languishing in ninth place with just two points, while Punjab Kings sit atop the table with an unbeaten run, collecting nine points so far. Despite a much-improved showing from Mumbai Indians, powered by Quinton de Kock's unbeaten 112 off 60 balls to post 195 for 6, it proved insufficient against a rampant Punjab Kings side. Punjab chased down the target in just 16.3 overs for the loss of three wickets, with breakout opener Prabhsimran Singh continuing his fine form with an unbeaten 80 off 39 balls, while captain Shreyas Iyer hammered a 35-ball 66. "To be very honest, I don't have much to say right now
