Punjab Kings (PBKS) are facing a challenging phase in IPL 2026, having lost four consecutive matches, which jeopardizes their hopes of securing a top-two finish. They currently boast the highest run-rate and batting average in the league but also concede the most runs per over. Marco Jansen, a key player for PBKS, has struggled significantly this season, averaging 65.83 runs per wicket and going for 10.04 runs per over. His performance against Delhi Capitals was particularly disappointing, with figures of 4-0-45-0. PBKS needs Jansen to bowl to his strengths, focusing on traditional lengths rather than relying on slower deliveries, which he has overpitched 30% of the time. The team is working to identify the issues affecting his performance, hoping for a turnaround that could revitalize their season.
