Punjab Kings will look to renew their bid for a Playoff berth with another commanding performance here on Sunday against Rajasthan Royals, who have failed to rise above mediocrity despite possessing the resources this season.
As action returns to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium after a week-long enforced break, Shreyas Iyer’s side will hope to move past the nightmare on May 8, when their match against Delhi Capitals in scenic Dharamsala had to be called off due to India-Pakistan border tensions, forcing the players to return to their dressing rooms in pitch darkness.
