Starting with two excellent away wins, Punjab Kings, like many other teams in the IPL this season, found the going tough on the home turf. Their skipper Shreyas Iyer called the defeat against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday night a wake-up call. 

It must be said that in the away wins at Ahmedabad and Lucknow, Iyer had a huge role to play; his superb batting as well as leadership qualities were there for all to see. But the moment he got out early against RR, things went awry for his team. Many questioned his shot selection, playing a rash stroke in the first over and losing his wicket when the team had already lost an opener to the first ball by Jofra Archer. The good thing is that Iyer has realized his mistake and promised to make amends when they take on Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday night.
