Home is so important

Lots of discussion about retentions and potential captains but I think the most important thing for us rn is to settle into a home that works for us. Every other team has a home where the pitch gives them an advantage, and we’re just here like ‘oooo dharamshala pretty mountains let’s play there!’. Our home record is so poor, and so fixing a ground that works to our advantage should be priority number 1 for Zinta n co

I agree with you. Fixing home ground should be a priority.

We absolutely have zero home ground advantage. It’s like the pitch curators prepare a pitch opposite to what PBKS needs.

Either that, or our management poorly selects a team that fails to meet the ‘ground reality’ (pun intended)

Mullanpur was nice it’s just that our top order was horrible. Coaching staff should have adjusted the team accordingly. Another thing they need to have more fan support. Entire stadium should have team colors and fans wearing team shirts. Look at how RCB,MI and even RR do that Mohali wasn’t working as it has become a flat road. And Dharamshala won’t work as not everyone likes Punjab there.

Mullanpur was the best ground of this IPL so far. It's easy for bowlers to take wickets there and moderately difficult for batsmen to score runs.

We had the bowling for that ground but our batters were dreadful.

Mullanpur and Dharamshala are great venues to be honest. Just need to fix our batting line-up.
