Punjab Kings Schedule IPL 2023: Complete PBKS match list, date, venue & timings in IST

The Punjab Kings (PBKS) are set for a new era under the new captain-coach duo of Shikhar Dhawan and Trevor Bayliss respectively. The franchise will kick-start their 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign with a contest against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 1.

PBKS made history at the IPL mini-auction ahead of the new season. They acquired Sam Curran for a massive sum of ₹18.50 crore, making him the most expensive acquisition ever in the history of the competition.

Punjab had assembled a rather well-rounded squad at the IPL 2022 mega auction, but their season did not go to plan with Mayank Agarwal at the helm. However, there were individual flashes of brilliance as Liam Livingstone, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada and Rahul Chahar had stellar seasons.

PBKS will play a couple of their home matches at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamsala. They will play the remainder of their home matches in Mohali, which last hosted an IPL game in 2019.

The Kings are on the lookout to get out of a rut, with their last playoff appearance coming in the 2014 edition.
