Punjab Kings Squad 2021
The Punjab Kings have been disappointing for a while with the quality of their squad in IPL 2021, and have yet to show some form. They have only managed one final in 13 years, which is quite remarkable. They also have not made it to the playoffs consistently. With only 3 wins in 8 games, they are currently in sixth place in the points table this year.
Batsmen: KL Rahul (C&WK), Mandeep Singh, Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Prabsimran Singh, Sarfaraz Khan
All-rounders: Chris Gayle, Darshan Nalkande, Dawid Malan, Deepak Hooda, Fabien Allen, Harpreet Brar, Jalaj Saxena, Moises Henriques, Saurabh Kumar, Shahrukh Khan, Utkarsh Singh
Bowlers: Adil Rashid, Arshdeep Singh, Chris Jordan, Ishan Porel, Mohammed Shami, Murugan Ashwin, Nathan Ellis, Ravi Bishnoi
The Punjab Kings captain for 2021 is KL Rahul and the Punjab Kings coach is Anil Kumble. We expect them to be strong contenders in IPL 2021 and at least reach the playoffs.
