IPL 2026: "Back to basics worked," PBKS coach Sairaj on Arshdeep's revival

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.

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
