KL Rahul, Punjab aim to avoid unwanted Dream11 IPL record ahead of Bangalore clash

The Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season will now move ahead with the 31st match of the tournament as Bangalore will be taking on Punjab at the high-scoring Sharjah venue. The struggling Punjab unit is currently placed at the bottom of the Dream11 IPL 2020 points table as they have managed to win just one game out of their seven matches so far. The KL Rahul-led side will be desperately looking for a win to stay in contention for the playoffs race.

Dream11 IPL 2020: Punjab on the verge of an unwanted Dream11 IPL record

Through their upcoming game, Punjab will not only be looking to stay in contention for the playoffs race with a much-needed win, but will also be looking to avoid an embarrassing Dream11 IPL record. Back in 2008, Punjab was one of the original eight franchises that took part in the inaugural edition of the tournament. Since then, the franchise has registered 99 defeats across all Dream11 IPL seasons and are currently levelled with Delhi (also 99 defeats).

If the KL Rahul-led side lose their all-important game to Virat Kohli’s Bangalore, they will become the first team in Dream11 IPL history to register 100 defeats. However, if they managed to edge past their opponents on Thursday, the same threat will loom over Shreyas Iyer’s Delhi when they play their next game on Saturday, October 17 against Chennai.
