IPL 2024 PBKS Playing XI: 11 strongest players of Punjab Kings, who will be the impact player?
Punjab Kings Playing XI IPL 2024 : Punjab Kings team is ready to enter the IPL field once again. This time also the command of the team will be in the hands of Shikhar Dhawan. Many changes have been made in the Punjab team since last year. The team looks very strong, but the question is how the team manages to perform when it comes on the field. What could be the best playing eleven of the team, which will field in the first match? Let us try to understand.
Punjab Kings do not have a single IPL title, played the final in the year 2014
However, Punjab Kings have not won a single IPL title yet. But the last two years of the team have also not been anything special. In the year 2022, the team was at sixth position, while in the year 2023, the team was at eighth position. In the year 2014, the team had reached the finals, after which almost 10 years have passed, but the team has not been able to perform like that. This time the team has included Harshal Patel for Rs 11.75 crore, Chris Woakes for Rs 4.2 crore and Riley Rousseau for around Rs 8 crore. All of them are match winners, but it will be interesting to see whether they will click in IPL or not.
Shikhar Dhawan will open for Punjab Kings
This time, if we talk about the playing eleven of the team, then only captain Shikhar Dhawan will come to start the innings, there should not be much doubt about it. The team has two options as his partner. England’s brilliant batsman Jonny Bairstow and India’s rising star Prabhsimran Singh. Prabhasimran had demonstrated his skills by scoring a century in last year’s IPL. But it is certain that the same players will play at numbers two and three. After this, Liam Livingstone may get a chance for number four. Jitesh Sharma’s place as a wicket-keeper batsman is almost confirmed. The team will be able to give a chance to only one of Sam Curran and Sikandar Raza. Since Sam Curran’s price is very high and he also bowls fast, it should be assumed that the team will include him in the playing eleven of the first match.
Punjab’s bowling is very strong
If we talk about Punjab’s bowling, the team looks very strong. Harshal Patel can also make some contributions with the bat, and he is also an amazing death overs bowler. Harpreet Brar and Kagiso Rabada can be seen supporting him. Rahul Chahar will handle the responsibility of spin and the team already has a young star like Arshdeep Singh. The team has a long army of good foreign players. But only four can play in the playing eleven, so it is possible that captain Dhawan may try changing players.
Probable playing eleven of Punjab Kings: Shikhar Dhawan (captain), Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Sam Curran, Harshal Patel, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh.
Impact Player: Rishi Dhawan and Atharva Taide
Punjab Kings full squad for IPL 2024: Shikhar Dhawan (captain), Jitesh Sharma, Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh, Liam Livingstone, Matthew Short, Harpreet Bhatia, Atharva Taide, Rishi Dhawan, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza, Shivam Singh, Harpreet Brar, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Nathan Ellis. , Rahul Chahar, Gurnoor Brar, Vidwath Kawarappa, Harshal Patel, Chris Woakes, Ashutosh Sharma, Shashank Singh, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Tanay Thiagarajan, Prince Choudhary, Riley Rousseau.
