Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) lost to Mumbai Indians (MI) on Thursday at Abu Dhabi and after the defeat, Punjab captain KL Rahul said that he will analyze the situation with the coaching staff to see if they can add an extra bowling option in the playing XI. And, one of the reasons for the loss was shortage of bowlers and that’s why they had to use those bowlers who had poor days.

"It's obviously disappointing. Looking back, we could've been three wins out of four. This game we made some mistakes. It's important we come back stronger," Rahul said after the match. "Another bowling option would be nice - an all-rounder option who can bat and bowl well. Will be sitting with the coaches to decide if we want to play an extra bowler.”

Rahul also praised his Karnataka and Indian teammate Mayank Agarwal – who has smashed a ton - was the holder of the Orange Cap and has become a key player of the squad. He further said that Mayank has worked very hard and deserves the Orange cap as well.

"We are not competing for the cap, we are just looking to play some good cricket. It doesn't matter who gets the runs, be it Rahul, Maxwell, Pooran or anyone else," Mayank Agarwal said after he lost the cap.

"Runs in the international circuit has given me a lot of confidence. In the lockdown I sat down and looked on how things will work in the T20 template. The thought is just about getting into great positions," he concluded.
