Bangalore vs Punjab: The Underachievers of the Indian T20 League

It’s a run fest whenever Bangalore and Punjab lock horns with each other in the Indian T20 League . On one side, there’s Bangalore, which has the likes of Virat Kolhi and AB de Villiers and now also Glenn Maxwell, who will be donning the Red and Black jersey for the first time. On the other side, there’s KL Rahul, Punjab’s captain and the highest run getter since 2018, Universe Boss Chris Gayle and an explosive Nicholas Pooran, one of the most destructive strikers in the shortest format.

Both sides are yet to lift the trophy in the Indian T20 League. While Bangalore came close to winning it in 2009, 2011 and 2016, Punjab’s closest shot at the title so far has been the 2014 edition. Will the wait continue for either or both teams? Only time will tell.
