Punjab Kings – Over the years
The Punjab Kings have turned out to be one of the most anticipated team in the entire edition of the IPL 2021. They proved the selectors right by exhibiting enormously in their batting, especially with the help of their top order. Although they haven’t managed to win a trophy until now, they will look to eye the 2022 edition quite seriously. The Punjab Kings managed just once to reach the big stage against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the year 2014, but had to accept defeat. Many critics say that this team is definitely a piece emerged from the vintage RCB team. This team lead by KL Rahul definitely has a million to cherish as they will look to retain three of their best players in the upcoming mega auctions.
PBKS FANBASE
More than measuring the number of fans that this team has got, we can measure the team’s backbone support just by seeing how Preity Zinta gets excited for each and every game that the Punjab team plays. The team changed its name from Kings XI Punjab to Punjab Kings this year, for a change in their approach towards winning the trophy. Although the fan magnitude is not as large as that of CSK’s or RCB’s, it indeed has it’s own way to celebrate victories.
Contenders For Retention
- KL Rahul
- Mayank Agarwal
- Chris Gayle
- Mohammad Shami
- Shah Rukh Khan
- Sarfaraz Khan
Possible Players To Be Retained
KL Rahul
Mohammad Shami
Mayank Agarwal
Other Possible combinations can include KL Rahul, Gayle and Shah Rukh Khan. Chris Gayle has got a lesser chance to make it to the top three, mainly due to his age factor and also a foreign retention can affect a franchise in its team making. Mayank has also not been quite impressive this year and has been dismissed quite a lot of times. We hope the above mentioned players will be retained in the mega auctions.
NOTE– The players added for retention above are only my predictions. This prediction is not officially confirmed by the franchise.
