IPL 2018: Breakthrough bread hodge at batsmen before the match against Chennai

New Delhi / Pune: Kings XI Punjab, who lost momentum for the last four outings, is currently in action against Chennai. But just before this match, the head coach of the team, Brad Hodge, ran on his team's batting.

Brad Hodge, Chief Coach of Kings XI Punjab, admitted that his team's middle-order batsmen did not meet the expectations and only two bowlers did well in the bowling.

In the captaincy of Ravichandran Ashwin, Kings XI Punjab had done a fantastic start in the Indian Premier League but they could not maintain it.

The team lost the match by a margin of three runs from Mumbai Indians on Wednesday. To stay in the playoff, they will have to depend on the results of the second match with the defeat of Chennai Super Kings, led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni tomorrow.

Hodge said, "I think this competition is tough enough to keep winning for long periods of time. We are the new team with the new captain. We have learned a lot from our success and failure. "

Before the crucial match against Chennai, Hodge said, "I think realistic thinking, our middle class did not go as well as they had hopes. With this we depend heavily on some (two) bowlers who keep us in the match. "
