Punjab Kings will be taking on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their first match of the 15th season of IPL. The match will take place on March 27 and the teams will be led by Mayank Agarwal and Faf Du Plessis respectively. Now Aakash Chopra’s Shocking Prediction On Orange Cap.

Mayank Agarwal will be leading the Punjab based franchise for the first time. He was Punjab Kings’ only retention along with Arshdeep Singh. The team decided to go ahead with Mayank as their captain thinking about the future of the franchise.

The franchise picked a solid strength team in the recently concluded mega auction which ended up impressing everyone. The team picked up some big names like Kagiso Rabada, Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livinstone, Odeon Smith.

Punjab Kings’ squad for IPL 2022 :

Mayank Agarwal, Arshdeep Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Jonny Bairstow, Rahul Chahar, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Prabhsimran Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Ishan Porel, Liam Livingstone, Odean Smith, Sandeep Sharma, Raj Angad Bawa, Rishi Dhawan, Prerak Mankad, Vaibhav Arora, Writtick Chatterjee, Baltej Dhanda, Ansh Patel, Nathan Ellis, Atharva Taide, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Benny Howell

Aakash Chopra’s Shocking Prediction On Orange Cap

Shikhar Dhawan will be the leading run-scorer for Punjab Kings. There is a possibility that he might win the Orange Cap in the process as well. Rabada will be the leading wicket-taker, he might win the Purple Cap as well.

Highest strike rate is a close call between Agarwal, Livingstone, and Shahrukh, but I think it’ll be Livingstone. I think they should finish in the top four, they have the team to do so. They might be the most consistent opening pair. With Bairstow not there for the first couple of matches.

Then comes Liam Livingstone and Shahrukh Khan, then Benny Howell at No. 6. Odean Smith, Rahul Chahar, Kagiso Rabada, Sandeep Sharma, and Arshdeep as the bowlers. This team will be even better after Bairstow returns”

Punjab Kings have never won a title in the history of the league. However, The fans are very hopeful in the upcoming edition of IPL considering some big names and fresh faces in the squad.
