IPL 2025: Punjab Kings has been participating in IPL since 2008. But this team has never won the title. Punjab Kings, which has been facing drought in IPL for 17 years, will be seen this time with a new captain as well as a new coaching staff. However, head coach Ricky Ponting has given hints in his statements about who will open for Punjab Kings this time.
Expressed confidence in the player
Punjab Kings had expressed their trust in 24-year-old young player Priyansh Arya. He had performed brilliantly in the Delhi Premier League and also hit 6 sixes in 1 over. Now Punjab head coach Ricky Ponting has also expressed confidence in Priyansh and praised the player a lot. He has said that I think Priyansh Arya is a very special potential opener for us going forward in the tournament. It depends on how we go forward with our alien look, it’s very exciting.
Delhi’s brilliant batting
Let us tell you that Arya also batted brilliantly for Delhi in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25. He scored 325 runs at an impressive average of 40.62 and a strike rate of 176.33, which also included 1 century. Apart from this, Priyansh played many brilliant innings in the Delhi Premier League 2024. Although Punjab Kings have experienced openers like Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis, will the management give a chance to Priyansh instead of Prabhsimran Singh? The answer to this will be known only in the coming days.
Team Campaign Points Table
Punjab Kings’ performance in IPL 2024 was poor. The team’s campaign ended at number 9 in the points table. Last time Punjab participated under the captaincy of Shikhar Dhawan. But this time Shreyas Iyer is going to take over the command. Iyer has made KKR the champion under his captaincy last time too. Punjab Kings will begin their campaign in IPL 2025 with a match against Gujarat Titans on March 25 in Ahmedabad.
