Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer, one of the trusted batsmen of Team India, will be seen with a new team in the new jersey this time. Shreyas Iyer has previously played IPL for Delhi Capitals and KKR. He has also been the captains of these two teams. He had also made KKR the champion of the IPL last year. Now he will be seen with Punjab Kings and will captain this team. But improving the condition and direction of Punjab Kings will not be an easy task for Shreyas Iyer. Punjab Kings are counted among the most lazy teams of IPL.
Punjab’s IPL also changed its name
If we look at the IPL history of Punjab Kings, the team changed many captains, but the fate of the team did not change. Even the team changed its name. Earlier this team was known as Kings XI Punjab, but later it was changed to Punjab Kings. But even after this, winning the team is a distant thing, it has not reached close to it.
Punjab team has been able to play IPL playoffs only twice
If Punjab Kings have been performing in the IPL, then only know that in the last 17 years, this team has been able to go into the playoffs only twice. If the team reaches the top 4, then this will be the biggest achievement for it. When the IPL was first organized in 2008, the team was in the top 4. After this, in 2014, the team traveled to the final, but also missed out on winning the title.
Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting can do wonders this time
This team is out of the playoff race only after losing a few matches and after that it remains to be seen that the team is not doing the final number. Shreyas Iyer may have taken Delhi Capitals to the final once under his captaincy. After this, he had made KKR the winner. But improving the condition of Punjab Kings is not going to be easy for them. It remains to be seen how far the pair of captain Shreyas Iyer and Head Coach Ricky Ponting are able to take Punjab Kings in this year’s IPL.
