Ex-PBKS all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin questioned LSG skipper Rishabh Pant's captaincy against PBKS, saying, "You’ll get respect…if you say you messed up as captain." Addressing his move to not continue spinner Manimaran Siddharth after a 10-run over, he said, "[You went with] Avesh Khan, Mohammad Shami and Aiden Markram next." "What conversation can you have with bowlers [after this]?" he added.
