It is safe to say that PBKS (then KXIP) was one of the unluckiest teams in 2021. Despite being so good, they failed to make it to the playoffs. One of the major reasons for that had to be a small and silly mistake.

They needed just the 21 runs from the 16 deliveries and still ended up losing the match. After Mayank Agarwal got out, Punjab sent the youngster Prabhsimran Singh over the experienced Glenn Maxwell. While one might argue that Maxwell wasn’t really at his best in that season, you still cannot play a youngster ahead of a proven performer.

Prabhsimran ended up struggling and was only able to score 4 runs from 7 balls. The Aussie all-rounder walked in but it was too late as even he couldn’t win couldn’t match for his team. KKR ended up winning this game by just the 2 runs.
