Heading towards the big score over 200 runs with 7 Wickets in hands. But once Shahrukh Khan departed, the team collapsed and failed to capitalize the momentum provided by Liam Livingstone\u2019s innings of 60 runs. Punjab Kings managed to score 151 runs in their allotted 20 overs.<\/p>\n<p>While defending the 151 runs, fans slam the inclusion of Odean Smith in the team once again over other players. Smith scored just 13 runs off 15 balls he faced. In the league, he has managed to score only 25*(8), 9*(12), 3(7), 0(1), 1(1), and 13(15). The performance of the player has been dropping down and hasn\u2019t seen the glimpse of a pinch hitter for which he has been included in the team. The West Indian pinch hitter was pulled in by PBKS for his all-around capabilities against India in the recent limited-overs series in India. The player hasn\u2019t been able to fill the expectation for which he is usually sent to finish off the matches. In the match against, SRH, the player was left clueless against Umran Malik\u2019s pace.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Odean Smith bashed RCB and forgot to bat after that<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SG \ud83d\udc51 (@RCBSG30) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RCBSG30\/status\/1515655807668350976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Constantly selecting odean smith over bhanuka rajapaksha tells you why kumble was sacked from position of Indian coach. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PBKSvSRH?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PBKSvSRH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Saksham Gupta (@_Gupta_sg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_Gupta_sg\/status\/1515658792473870336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">That's 25 runs short\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Time to think beyond Odean Smith.. <\/p>\n<p>Benny Howell will be a nice addition, he will bring new variety to bowling attack with his variations and he is capable finisher too..<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rayudu (@rayudu7383) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rayudu7383\/status\/1515660442999615488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/udyktweets\/status\/1515663833427513351?s=20&t=9hRRAxE_5VimGhiz39X9mw<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Odean smith is horrible <\/p>\n<p>Can't bat can't bowl <\/p>\n<p>Bring in Benny Howell <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/anilkumble1074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@anilkumble1074<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Adithya (@sevalbanthu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sevalbanthu\/status\/1515660409407422472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netizens during a match of PBKS against Sunrisers Hyderabad slammed Odean Smith\u2019s inclusion in the lineup of Punjab Kings fr his poor show with the bat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":40267,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
