Punjab has been the perennially underachieving team in the Indian domestic circuit. However, the current team could set it right this season with a good show in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Despite being selected for the Indian Test team, Shubman Gill could turn up for Punjab in the tournament, especially if he isn't a part of the Indian playing eleven.

Apart from the talented 20-year-old, Punjab boast an impressive batting line-up with the likes of Mandeep Singh and Gurkeerat Singh Mann an integral part of the top-order. Both these players have also been given the additional responsibility as the captain and the vice-captain of this squad respectively.

While talented opener Anmolpreet Singh will be an important part of Punjab's campaign this edition, highly-rated teenager Prabhsimran Singh will keep wickets in the tournament.

The team has a good all-rounder in Abhishek Sharma who will assist the strong bowling attack comprising of Siddharth Kaul, Mayank Markhande and Sandeep Sharma.

Punjab is a young team with huge potential. And, if they can stick to their basics in the upcoming tournament, success could follow them this season.
