Dharamshala, May 13: TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Punjab Kings are prepared to return to winning ways as they face Mumbai Indians in a critical fixture on Thursday. With three league matches remaining, Assistant Bowling Coach Trevor Gonsalves emphasized that the team remains focused on the task at hand and has worked on the weak areas to ensure no mistakes are made in the next game.

Gonsalves maintained that despite a few difficult games, there has been no change in the environment of the team and dressing room, with everybody having a positive outlook towards the remainder of the tournament.

"It is exactly as what it was when we started. Nothing has changed at all in the dressing room. We are quite confident about it. Three games are a lot of games, it's not less, and we hope to do our best. Yes, there were some ups and downs. There were some places where we needed to iron it out, we've done that and we will be back," he said regarding the team's mindset heading into the final stretch of the season.

Addressing the team’s fielding, Gonsalves acknowledged the impact of missed opportunities while highlighting the work being done in training to ensure it is not repeated.
