"Death bowling is a cause for concern" - Murali Kartik on PBKS' weak points in IPL 2023

Speaking to Cricbuzz, former Indian spinner Murali Karthik recently analyzed the weaknesses of the Punjab Kings in IPL 2023. He pointed out that Shikhar Dhawan-led side have been struggling with their death-over bowling, with Sam Curran, Kagison Rabada, and Arshdeep Singh failing to deliver.

Karthik said:

"Their [PBKS'] death bowling is a cause for concern. Sam Curran has struggled and Kagiso Rabada has also been expensive. There were a lot of expectations from Arshdeep Singh but his form hasn't been that good either."

He added:

"The teams who have done well, their main players have peaked at the right time. You'd want your top players to step up at this crucial juncture. If three or four bowlers get hit in one match, you don't have any option."
