Losing IPL games narrowly has become a pattern for Punjab Kings: Kumble

Punjab Kings head coach Anil Kumble admitted that his team losing IPL games narrowly has become a pattern and the two-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals was certainly a difficult pill to swallow. The Punjab side failed to score four runs from the final over with the Royals fast bowler Karthik Tyagi dismissing Nicholas Pooran and Deepak Hooda and giving away only one run to snatch the win for his team on Monday. It's sort of become a bit of a pattern for us, especially as soon as we get to Dubai, it seems. There was a clear message saying we need to finish this game in 19 overs, and that was the approach," Kumble said at the post-match press conference. "Unfortunately, we let it till the end, and in the last couple of balls it becomes a lottery (with) a new batsman going in, it is a bit of lottery. The legendary leg-spinner gave credit to Tyagi for the way he bowled the final over. But credit to how Tyagi bowled the last over, it was pretty obvious that he's going to bowl wide outside

IND vs AUS: Tough ask without Kohli if IND don't win 1st Test, says Kumble

"Although with (Steven) Smith and (David) Warner coming back, and then Virat (Kohli) missing the three Test matches will obviously be a big factor for India.
