IPL 2023: Punjab Kings haven’t had the best performance in the history of the Indian Premier League. They haven’t qualified for the playoffs in any of the last seven editions. Even in 2022, they finished the group in sixth place with seven wins and seven defeats out of 14 games. However, for better improvement, the franchise made some smart picks during the IPL auction 2023 and went all out for English all-rounder Sam Curran.

They also bought Sikandar Raza (INR 50 lakh), Harpreet Bhatia (INR 40 lakhs), Vidwath Kaverappa (INR 20 lakhs), Shivam Singh (INR 20 lakhs),  and Mohit Rathee (INR 20 lakhs).

With the upcoming edition just nine days away, all the franchises are gearing up for the mega-event. Meanwhile, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan shared some valuable advice for the Punjab Kings ahead of the IPL 2023. In a discussion on Star Sports, he said that the Mohali-based franchise used to do a lot of chopping and changing after every season, which is one of the reasons for their consistent failure.

“I played 3 years for Punjab. There I have seen that if you hit the seam or impart proper back spin, you do get help. The sides of the ground are big. If you have got an idea of what length to bowler, it can make a big difference to the bowlers. Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh are quality bowlers. That makes a big difference, and I believe that this bowling unit among all the IPL teams, their names are right up there.”

The coming season will get underway on March 31, when defending champion Gujarat Titans will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings. That game will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Punjab Kings will open their season on April 1 against Kolkata Knight Riders at PCA Stadium in Mohali.
