Conditions of Pitch

Otherwise, Shikhar Dhawan explained the wicket as well. User: Kuli Kohli He bequeathed it as “Not the most helpful pitch for batsman”, with irregular bounce and rotation coming in handy for him. Though the defeat was substantial, the control of Harpreet Brar’s bowling demanded applause.

Reclamation of PBKS

Dhawan’s honest talk could be taken as advice that taking credit only for success and not accepting responsibilities, are not the qualities of leadership, but the ethos of leadership lies in those who could put themselves in a situation of self-discovery, rather than worrying only about the victory.
