Punjab Kings IPL Squad Preview - Punjab need their big-hitters to find big form

 

Punjab are one of the least successful IPL sides, having made it to the final just once (losing to the Knight Riders in 2014 as the Kings XI Punujab) and only making the playoffs on one other occasion. This season they are looking really strong when it comes to their bowlers and all-rounders, but the key to their success in 2024 will be if power-hitters Rilee Rossouw and Jonny Bairstow start hitting their straps. 

Harshal Patel, Chris Woakes, Ashutosh Sharma, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Shashank Singh, Tanay Thyagarajann, Prince Choudhary and Rilee Rossouw.

Aside from skipper Shikhar Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza, Chris Woakes, Nathan Ellis is a player of great potential. However, if their out-of-form big-hitters Rilee Rossouw and Jonny Bairstow come good it would give them the extra fire-power to challenge for the playoffs.
