Punjab team has played 10 matches so far this season, in which they have won 4 matches, while they have faced defeat in 6. Although this team is very strong, yet their batting has been a cause of trouble and they suddenly successfully chased a huge score of 262 runs against KKR. In such a situation, during the discussion on Cricbuzz, Sehwag compared this team with Pakistan.

He said, “See when Punjab plays, no one can trust them. They are playing very well and then suddenly they will be all out for 100 or 150 or will allow the opposition team to score 250 runs. This is the special thing about Punjab and this team can do this. The way we talk about Pakistan in international cricket, there is no assurance of what they will do when. Punjab is also exactly like this and they have no confidence as to what to do when.”

Let us tell you that Sehwag has also played for Punjab in IPL and he has captained this team. Under his leadership, the team played the final of 2014 but the team had to face defeat at the hands of Kolkata. Apart from this, the former player has also been the coach of Punjab but in IPL 2024 he is playing the role of commentator.

PBKS's regular captain Shikhar Dhawan is out this season due to injury and star all-rounder Sam Curran is captaining the team in his place. So Punjab is the team which has defeated Chennai Super Kings in 5 consecutive matches in IPL.
