Punjab Kings (PBKS) have found themselves in a precarious position in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season after suffering five consecutive defeats, including a recent loss to the Mumbai Indians (MI). This streak has left the team needing to win their last two matches to secure a playoff spot. Assistant coach Brad Haddin expressed disappointment over the team's decline from an unbeaten start, emphasizing that players must now focus entirely on their performance. He stated, 'There's no tomorrow,' highlighting the urgency of the situation. Haddin noted that handling pressure is crucial in the IPL, and the team has struggled to perform in high-stakes moments. He also addressed the impact of external criticism, indicating that while players should be aware of it, their primary focus must remain on winning. The next challenge for PBKS is against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where a victory is essential for their playoff aspirations.
