PBKS Playing XI vs MI: Big dilemma for Mayank Agarwal – Will Punjab beat Odian Smith? Follow live updates
Mayank Agarwal will have a huge decision on his hands when he decides to combine his games to play against the Mumbai Indians. While Liam Livingstone and Kagiso Rabada performed well, their other two foreign recruits, Johnny Bairstow and Oden Smith, failed to comply with their billing.
Smith faced a possible dismissal, especially after the last time Rahul Tewatia gave up 12 runs off the last two balls. His batting return has also faded, which means Agarwal can look at some other options in the squad. Some options on the bench for Raj Bawa, Rishi Dhawan and Benny Howell Punjab and the team management need to call about Smith’s position.

What else can PBKS change? Vanuka Rajapaksa could return to the team, perhaps an Indian all-rounder will also join the team to balance. The Sri Lankan was impressive when he joined Bairstow with his Uber attacking top-order player and could replace Bairstow who has fought in both matches so far.
Shah Rukh Khan has fought for runs and Rishi Dhawan can find himself in the mix. Raj Bawa was looking nervous at his debut and Rishi’s experience gave him a headstart to the Under-19 World Cup star to build the team.
