Two weeks have passed since the start of the biggest and most enjoyed short-format league in the world, and a number of matches have left fans across the globe in awe. The league has delighted spectators with surprises and shots, whether it was Rinku Singh’s massive five sixes or Shikhar Dhawan titled as Gabbar scoring the most individual runs in the most prominent league in the world.
Punjab Kings is one of the most underrated teams in the history of the Indian Premier League. Despite having the best players on its side over the years, the franchise has been unable to secure any cash-rich league title to its name. Punjab Kings is renamed from its then name Kings XI Punjab.
Rocky, the mascot of the Punjab Kings franchise came into existence in 2014. The mascot was first seen during a match in 2014 from the wall of the franchise’s Twitter handle. Rocky can be seen possessing a massive animated face with a flag of then-Kings XI Punjab in its hand.
The franchise’s captain and star opener Shikhar Dhawan is leading in the league by scoring the most individual runs. Dhawan was acquired by the franchise again with an exchange of 8.25 Crore. The left-hand batter has proved his mettle once again, coming out as the fair exchange for the team.
Punjab Kings has played a total of 4 matches out of which it has been able to secure wins in just two matches, seizing the 6th spot with 4 points under Gabbar’s captaincy. Punjab Kings had begun their journey in this season of the money-grubbing league by winning over Kolkata Knight Riders in their first match on the 1st of April.
The franchise can be counted among the strongest bowling line up with the likes of Sam Curran, Arshdeep Singh, Nathan Ellis, Kagiso Rabada, and Rishi Dhawan. The batting lineup has the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Prabhsimran Singh, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Shahrukh Khan.
