Punjab Kings Captain Sam Curran spoke after a heavy defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Punjab lost by 60 runs as they bundled out for 180, in pursuit of of 242 target given by RCB. This defeat knocked Punjab Kings from the race to playoffs

RCB scored a monstrous 241/7 in their quota of 20 overs, thanks to fifties from Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar. Cameron Green scored a handy 46 of 27 as well. 

In response, Punjab went after boundaries, but also kept losing wickets regularly. Rilee Roussow's 61 of 27 was the highest score and the only fifty plus innings in Punjab's chase.

Curran said, "Frustrating and disappointing. A lot of positive signs but not enough to get over the line and get the wins we needed. Gutted but lots to learn. Wasn't a distraction [to miss Shikhar Dhawan] We knew we had the best side for the rest of the tournament and I'm gutted for the team. Got to come back stronger next year. Enjoyed leading a great bunch of guys [but] would have loved to have won a few more games. We've had some highs, record chases. The ups and downs have been tough. There's lots of experience in the dressing room but have to keep learning. Lots of disappointment but we have to keep fighting."
