There was enough time to prepare: Mayank

PBKS new skipper defends team composition for DC match

Punjab Kings’ newly-appointed skipper Mayank Agarwal has hinted at the possibility of Chris Gayle or Dawid Malan playing the role of an opener in the upcoming games. Answering questions from mediapersons on Sunday night about the two overseas recruits turning up higher in batting order following K.L. Rahul’s non-availability, Mayank responded, “That’s something we have to speak about.” After PBKS suffered a seven-wicket defeat to Delhi Capitals, Mayank defended the team combination chosen for the match. “With Delhi’s batting, we thought we needed that firepower to get the wickets. That was the plan. And we back our bowlers to do it for us.”
