After three years, Bhatia was released by PWI ahead of IPL 2014 and it took him three years to get his next IPL contract as Royal Challengers Bangalore roped him for ₹20 Lakhs as a replacement for the injured Sarfaraz Khan in IPL 2017. He was released by RCB ahead of IPL 2018 and missed out on the tournament for six more years. In December 2022, PKBS picked him for ₹40 Lakhs for IPL 2023. Now, the top-order has been retained by the franchise ahead of IPL 2024 and will be playing his second season with PBKS.

Harpreet Singh hasn’t been able to make his name in the IPL despite being part of the league since 2010. He will be looking to capitalize on every opportunity he gets for PBKS in IPL 2024. Bhatia is likely to open the innings with the skipper Shikhar Dhawan as PBKS lack proper top-order batsmen.
