IPL2021:” Kind of changes Punjab Kings are making is beyond my comprehension”, said Akash Chopra
Aakash Chopra has said that he is unable to understand the kind of changes Punjab Kings are making in their lineup during the 14th edition of the IPL 2021.
Made a match out of a scanty total! 🙌🏻

He said,”They(PBKS) have already made 21 changes in 10 matches. And not all of these changes have been due to unavailability or injuries. I think they have put axe on their own foot. The kind of changes Punjab Kings are making is way beyond my comprehension. It rarely makes sense.”
Akash Chopra also questioned the Punjab franchise’s decision to replace their fast bowler Jhye Richardson with a spinner in Adil Rashid. It came despite PBKS having Ravi Bishnoi, Murugan Ashwin, and Harpreet Brar in their ranks. Chopra said:
“Why to pick Adil Rashid then? You had M Ashwin, Ravi Bishnoi, and Harpreet Brar.. so when your two fast bowlers left why did they pick Rashid? Despite Bishnoi performed really well during the first half of the tournament. So i was really surprised when they benched Bishnoi in the first match. You played Fabian Allen against RR but did not give him a single over and dropped him in the following match.”
