KL Rahul has been at the top of his form recently and since joining Kings XI Punjab he has been dominating the IPL. He was the leading run scorer for KXIP in 2018 and 2019 with 659 and 593 rubs respectively. And, now after being appointed captain, KL gets to prove his abilities as a leader. In IPL 2020, he topped the charts of the highest run-getters in the tournament and won the Orange Cap.
There is no name bigger than Chris Gayle in the world of T20 cricket. Even at this stage of his career Gayle commands respect from his opponents, thanks to his hard-hitting batsmanship and ability to take the game away from the opponents single-handedly.
India's ace pacer, Mohammad Shami is one of the important pillars of the PBKS squad. Although Shami has not been up to his full potential at the IPL till now, he still managed to bag 20 wickets which was the most for PBKS last season.
Nicholas Pooran is one of the most dangerous batsmen coming from the West Indian islands. He has scored over 3,000 runs in the shortest format of the game at a whopping strike rate of 144.46. Very few cricketers can boast of such a record and the Kings will be happy to have him in their ranks.
Currently the No. 1 ranked batsman in ICC T20I Batting rankings, England’s Dawid Malan will be making his IPL debut in the 2021 season.
