TIL Desk Sports/ Kings XI Punjab’s the team’s director of cricket operations Virender Sehwag came down heavily at the team’s ‘irresponsible’ batsmen, after Rising Pune Supergiant bowled them out for an embarrassing 73 (their lowest total) in their Indian Premier League match in Pune on Sunday.
RPS won the match by nine wickets to progress to the play-offs.”(I am) very disappointed,” Sehwag said in the post-match press conference in Pune on Sunday.”I can say that none of the foreign players took the responsibility to play at least 12-15 overs.
At least one out of the top four should bat 12-15 overs, but none of the batsmen took the responsibility.””If our batsmen were more consistent, maybe we would be in the playoffs,” Sehwag said. He slammed the batsmen for going after the bowling. “But they will only play according to how their thinking is. Perhaps they think T20 is for entertainment or only for hitting fours and sixes.
