Speaking to Cricbuzz, Virender Sehwag said either one of Agarwal or Rahul should have finished the game after facing 30-plus balls in the match. He remarked that had Chris Gayle - who made way for Makram in the match - played and scored a half-century, he would not have let the team lose in the final over.
Virender Sehwag said:
The former India opener added:
PBKS cruised for the better part of their chase of 186 runs, with Agarwal scoring 67 off 43 deliveries and skipper Rahul, 49 off 33 balls. All that changed when the next two batsmen, Nicholas Pooran (32 off 22) and Markram (26* off 20), failed to rotate strike in the last two overs and let the team fall short by just two runs.

“Markam should have taken the strike back in the last over” - Virender Sehwag
Virender Sehwag also pointed out how Markram made a huge blunder by not taking the strike back in the final over despite Kartik Tyagi’s couple of wide-ish deliveries presenting the opportunity.
Virender Sehwag explained:
He concluded by saying:
PBKS will now lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Saturday in Sharjah.
