Punjab Kings had a disappointing IPL 2024 campaign, finishing ninth with just five wins from 14 league matches. The franchise acquired Shreyas Iyer for ₹26.75 crore in the auction. The star batter, who led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the IPL title in 2024, has been appointed as PBKS' new captain.
"The XI I have made is something like this - Prabhsimran Singh, and I wish to open with either Josh Inglis or Marcus Stoinis alongside him. If they want to play Priyansh Arya, then Priyansh Arya, or else Josh Inglis with Prabhsimran Singh. Then Shreyas Iyer at No. 3," Chopra said.
