Key players of Punjab Kings in IPL 2026
Shreyas Iyer
Like last season, Shreyas Iyer, being the captain of the team, would like to lead from the front and will hope to get support from other batsmen as well.
Shreyas, who is known for his ability to play spin, will be entrusted with the responsibility of keeping the spinners under pressure and making things easier for the batsmen come the end of the innings, both while batting first and while chasing.
Priyansh Arya
Priyansh Arya, who was one of the youngsters to score a century last season, has continued his form while playing in the local leagues and will look to continue where he left off in 2025.
The captain and coach will support Priyansh to play his natural aggressive style in the first six overs and bat at the top of the order to give the team a good start and provide a platform for other batsmen to take advantage.
Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh, who is going through a bad phase in white-ball cricket, will try to extend it in the next season of IPL.
Being the senior bowler in the team, Arshdeep will be given the responsibility of taking wickets in the first six overs and the last five overs.
If Arshdeep is able to find his rhythm in the first half of the tournament, it will help the team limit the opposition to chaseable scores on a consistent basis, given the experience of the Punjab Kings bowling attack.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Senior Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal will consider the upcoming IPL season as an opportunity to get back into the national team, having not been a part of it in either of the two white-ball formats for quite some time.
Chahal’s performance in the middle order will decide the fate of Punjab Kings in the 19th edition of the league.
Performance of Punjab Kings in IPL
Punjab Kings snapped a streak of failed attempts to qualify for the playoffs last season and will be looking to go a step further in the next edition, after missing out on lifting their maiden IPL trophy after a defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
