Punjab Kings (PK), formerly Kings XI Punjab, notched up five consecutive wins towards the end of IPL 2020, but eventually finished at the sixth position in the points table.
Led by KL Rahul, who was the leading run-scorer in the last edition, Punjab will open their campaign against Rajasthan Royals on 12th April.
Punjab will play most of their matches in Bangalore (5), followed by Ahmedabad (4), Mumbai (3) and Chennai (2)
The team has a solid batting order, comprising the likes of Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran. In the bowling department, they have Mohammed Shami, Chris Jordan, and Ravi Bishnoi, the young leggie who impressed last year.
In the 2021 auction too, they have made some valuable acquisitions such as David Malan, the World No 1 T20I batsman, Jhye Richardson and Moises Henriques. One should also keep an eye on Shahrukh Khan, Jalaj Saxena and Riley Meredith, three of the youngsters they bought for the upcoming edition.
