Ravinder Pahal needs to take more responsibility for Bengaluru Bulls

The 'Hawk' had a see-saw of a season this year. He looked fabulous when he started off with the Bulls but then lost his form, looked frustrated with himself and lost his cool to earn a ban after an argument with the referee. With the Bengaluru Bulls down and out in Season 5, Pahal has found his way back to the team and has looked good in his familiar right corner position.

Although he got only four points against Telugu Titans in Ranchi, those coming in five attempts were worth their weight in gold in a low-scoring encounter which eventually ended in a breathtaking tie. With his temperament issues earning him a bad rep, the time is just perfect for the veteran to hit back at critics with performances that made him the feared name that he is in the league. If he can string together a few more performances like the one he put in against Telugu Titans, it won't take too long for fans to forget his ban.
