Punjab Kings chose a new IPL home ground, opted for a new jersey, made great auction picks and are looking strong this season. Punjab Kings have particularly targeted their bowling department during the auction, picking up Harshal Patel and Chris Woakes in the auction. Most of their players have been in form throughout the 2023 season, and Jonny Bairstow is making a comeback after missing the IPL last year.
Punjab Kings will be facing off with Delhi Capitals in their first match on March 23, 2024. Punjab’s bowling lineup is one of the strongest in the league. In this article you’ll get to know about the top players from Punjab Kings that you can’t forget to pick in your Dream11 team.
5 Must Have PBKS Players in Your Dream11 Team during IPL 2024
5. Sam Curran
Sam Curran is a brilliant bowler who has shown his caliber in his first season with Chennai Super Kings, picking up a four-fer. Last season was an average season for Sam Curran with the bowl, and he wasn’t economical, giving away 10 runs in an over. But this season, Curran will have the support of Harshal Patel to keep a check on leaking runs. Sam could have been on top two of our list but his batting contribution will be less in this season.
4. Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh is the main bowler for Punjab Kings, along with Kagiso Rabada and Harshal; Singh can move the ball in the powerplay and hit proper yorkers in the death that can break the stumps. Arshdeep Singh was the leading wicket-keeper for Punjab Kings in the IPL 2024, picking up 17 wickets with a Strike rate of 17.94 in 14 matches. Singh should be a part of your Dream11 team if you want to win big in Dream11.
3. Sikandar Raza
Sikandar Raza might not be on your list of top five players from the Punjab Kings, but his recent form and development have been commendable. He was the top all-rounder in ILT20 2024, scoring 313 runs and picking up 13 wickets in 13 matches. Unfortunately, Raza can’t lead his team to win the final of ILT20, and his dream can be fulfilled at Punjab Kings. Sikandar Raza is a brilliant bowler and powerful hitter who can get you a good amount of points for Dream11.
2. Liam Livingstone
Liam Livingstone‘s current form is a concern but his ability to bowl both off and leg spin makes him a rare pick for any team. Liam Livingstone’s last season was average in IPL, scoring 279 runs and picking up just 2 wickets in 9 matches. Liam Livingstone will probably bat at number 4 and will contribute to bowling as well. Livingstone is a must have player in your Dream11 team for each PBKS match.
1. Shikhar Dhawan
Captain Shikhar Dhawan is the type of player that you can’t ignore in your dream11 team, as his average in last year’s IPL was 41.44, scoring 373 runs in just 11 matches. Dhawan is a must have player in your Dream11 team for any match. The Punjab King’s batting unit revolves around Shikhar Dhawan. The new home ground is not too flat, which requires a technical player who can play good cricketing shots and keep the momentum going your team’s way, and Dhawan is a player who will give you 20 points in each match for sure.
