Yes punjab lose 4 matches back to back i think and that pushed them back...if the first half of the tournament they were doing very well and looked that they could easily reached playoffs...but no one performed in their team leaving rahul..
Apart from Rahul, none of their batsmen showed any sort of consistency. I was really disappointed with Karun Nair. He got a few good starts and made 30s and 40s. But he failed to convert these scores to a half-century. Another disappointment came in the form of Chris Gayle. He looked good in the first few matches, but then his form faded away.
