PBKS vs RR: Babies don't change diapers as frequently as Punjab change their playing XI, says Virender Sehwag

Former Punjab Kings captain and coach Virender Sehwag wants the team to find a permanent fix to their problem of frequent changes in their playing XI and urged them to keep a strong bowling attack as they get ready to restart their campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Tuesday.

Sehwag, who led Punjab in the 2015 season and coached them in 2017, feels PBKS change their playing XI too many times during a season which is why they struggle to win games on a regular basis in the IPL.

"It's tough to predict their 11 because they have changed their bowling so many times in the first seven games that there is no count. What they play and whom they play is going to remain a challenge for Punjab Kings.

"But still, I would want them to keep their bowling strong. Because of their batting clicks with Gayle, Pooran, Agarwal and Rahul, if they score, they can help the team win solely on their performance. So, it is important to keep their bowling strong.

"If they want an overseas fast bowler, then Chris Jordan is one such player who can bowl in the death and can score as well," Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.

Punjab Kings are languishing in 7th place on the points table and will take on 6th-placed Rajasthan Royals in Match 32 of IPL 2021 in Dubai.

"I would still say that Rajasthan Royals are a bit more settled. Punjab Kings change their XI a lot more.

"For RR, since they do not have too many top players this time around, they have no other option than to change. They had this system where they would give a player 2-3 matches before changing but Punjab Kings kept changing after every 1-2 games.

"Even babies do not change diapers as frequently as Punjab Kings change their Playing XI," added Sehwag.
