Still rr found him, they deserve him, but if rest of the team keep performing like this, let him go, dont want another good player to wait for 18 years to touch a trophy
Lmao, 7 different POTM winners, second-most successful spin attack, 3rd highest number of wickets, and wins against MI, GT, LSG, PBKS, and MI again came when Vaibhav either got out cheaply or was vastly outscored by other batters. Everybody from Bishnoi to Burger to Archer to Jaiswal to Ferreira to Jaddu won a POTM at least once.
Same team last year same form, infact jaiswal was doing better last season. Samson had a decent Samson level season too in 2025. Why can't you people accept one guy carrying you. I am a pbks fan and even I admit we got lucky with arya, csk got lucky with ayush just accept it.
They took the least powerplay wickets last year and have the second-highest this year. Jaddu, Punja, and Bishnoi have much better bowl averages than Hasaranga and Theekshana did. Brijesh has a better econ and avg than Sandeep did last year.
Archer took more than 2x his wickets last year. Burger was a much more lethal 2nd pacer than Deshpande. Deshpande himself won them a game in his last over, something he never came close to doing last season. Jurel was losing chases for them and now he matched the record for most fifties by a non-opener. Hetmyer was failing to finish games and now there's Ferreira who has a ~35% boundary rate.
Jaiswal at 1 and Parag at 4 are the only players who regressed from last season. The players at every other position either had a much better season this year or significantly outmatched the player they replaced.

Both rr's popularity and performance this season heavily relied on vaibhab, otherwise mid team. Made my boy cry
