PBKS Probable Playing 11 vs MI

 

Punjab Kings face a tough challenge following a demoralising loss against RCB. Their bowling unit, in particular, looked under pressure with the absence of Marco Jansen and no support from Yuzvendra Chahal, who hasn’t featured this season. Arshdeep Singh has carried a heavy load, and PBKS will be desperate for their spinners and seamers to step up on a batting-friendly track. With the bat, the onus is on openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya to give them a strong start. Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting will be counting on the team to bounce back and put up a united performance.

 

PBKS Probable 11 and Impact Subs: Priyansh Arya, Josh Inglis(w), Shreyas Iyer(c), Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, Azmatullah Omarzai, Kyle Jamieson, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal
