The Punjab Kings franchise is languishing at the bottom in the points table of this season of the Indian Premier League. The position of any team is a final outcome of the performance of its players. In this article, we have listed out top 5 players from Punjab Kings who have failed miserably to perform better in this season of the cash-rich league.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa

The Sri Lankan batter was acquired by Punjab Kings at the exchange of 50 lakh rupees for the 16th season of the Indian Premier League. Rajapaksa came to light due to his wonderful performances but he has failed to show any impact with his bat. He was also reported to be injured.

Shahrukh Khan

The 27-year-old Tamil Nadu batter was acquired by the Punjab franchise at a whopping cost of 9 crore for this season, keeping his performances for Tamilnadu as the priority. However, the batter could not help much with his bat and scored mere 109 runs in total 12 matches in this season hitherto.

Rishi Dhawan

The experienced bowler of the league has been able to take only 1 wicket for his franchise in 6 matches of this season of the cash-rich league. The right hand medium pacer was acquired by Punjab Kings at a cost of 55 Lakh rupees.

Jitesh Sharma

Jitesh Sharma is another batter of Punjab kings who didn’t impress with his bat that much but has the potential to score good runs. Sharma was bought by Punjab Kings at a base price of 20 lakhs. The batter has been able to score 2nd runs from 12 matches in this season.

Rahul Chahar

Rahul Chahar did not come up as a worthwhile exchange of Rs. 5.25 crore at which the Punjab Kings acquired his services. Chahar has played a total of 12 matches for his franchise in this season and has taken mere 7 wickets.
