<p><em>IPL 2021: Punjab Kings (PBKS) Team Analysis - Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats.</em></p>



<p><strong>Punjab Kings (PBKS) Team Analysis:</strong> Despite felling short of the IPL 2020 playoffs, Punjab Kings (formerly Kings XI Punjab) was the most entertaining side of the previous year IPL. KL Rahul led side fought every game and utilised the last ball to get the result of the game. Punjab Kings could not start well to the season however, they recovered till well with back to back wins.</p>



<p>The franchise appeared in IPL 2021 auction with a new brand identity and had the biggest purse value. They ran after the players they needed and eventually got them. Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith and Dawid Malan are their top picks.</p>



<h2><strong>Punjab Kings (PBKS) Team Analysis - Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats</strong></h2>



<p><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color">Strengths - Top Order.</span></strong></p>



<p>Last seasons Orange Cap winner, KL Rahul will lead the side as well as the batting lineup along with Mayank Agarwal as his opening partner. Both the players had a tremendous outing last time in UAE. Mayank Agarwal certainly loved the company of his buddy KL Rahul and IPL 2020 was by far the best IPL till now for him.</p>



<p>Both these batsmen will be backed by Universe Boss Chris Gayle. It was seen that the side won back to back games after Gayle was brought into the playing 11. Gayle will be backed by Nicholas Pooran at number four.</p>



<p>The franchise also has the likes of Dawid Malan, Sarfaraz Khan, Fabian Allen and Moises Henriques. The side filled with huge T20 batsmen, they look simply unstoppable.</p>



<p><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color">Weaknesses - Bowling.</span></strong></p>



<p>The inexperienced bowling lineup will be a major concern for the Mohali based franchise. Barring Mohammad Shami, no other bowler in PBKS had a proper IPL background. Ravi Bishnoi and Murugan Ashwin had a good IPL outing last time but it is highly unlikely that the team will go with both the leg spinners.</p>



<p>Punjab Kings have Jhye Richardson and Riley Meredith as new recruit however both the players have no experience of Indian conditions. Fabian Allen who is now with PBKS benched the whole last season for SRH.</p>



<p><span class="has-inline-color has-black-color">Arshdeep Singh is also with the side.</span></p>



<p>Someone from the new recruits will have to step up in the upcoming IPL to turn this weakness into their strength.</p>



<p><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color">Opportunities - Arshdeep Singh.</span></strong></p>



<p>The left-arm pacer has a perfect setting to step with as the support to Mohammad Shami and cement his position. He can even knock the doors of BCCI if he ables to replicate his IPL 2020 performance with shining numbers.</p>



<p>The pacer had nine scalps in the eight games for Punjab Kings last season. Arshdeep Singh was also used in the death overs by KL Rahul.</p>



<p><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color">Threats - Injury Concern.</span></strong></p>



<p>The injury calls of the key players will trouble the franchise. Their skipper KL Rahul had a thumb injury in the Australia tour. Mohammad Shami also sustained a thumb fracture in the pink-ball Test against Australia. It will be important for the franchise to monitor their recovery ahead of IPL.</p>



<p>Chris Gayle is 41 years old and it will be extremely important for PBKS to use him accordingly. Last season, Gayle had to miss a few games.?</p>

All the eight franchises have organised their training camps with all the facilities. Chennai Super Kings were the first to organise it as usual.</p>



<p>The IPL 2021 is returning to India after a complete slowdown last year due to Covid-19. However, it is unlikely that BCCI is going to allow fans to enter the stadiums to cheer for their favourite teams.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The previous year IPL was the superhit contest as it shattered all the previous records while the story will not end here. The close nail-biting finish to the games will make the game more exciting and in the coming years, the numbers will increase tremendously.</p>

<p><em>Vivo IPL 2021: A big update on Mohammad Shami?s injury given by Anil Kumble.</em></p>



<p><strong>Vivo IPL 2021:</strong> Punjab Kings head coach Anil Kumble gave a big update on pacer Mohammad Shami?s injury. He said the pacer is on his way back to action and will play for the team in the elite competition which begins on 09th April.</p>



<p>The Indian senior pacer is out of the game since the last December. Shami took a major blow on his right forearm during the play on the third day of the first test in Adelaide. A well-directed bouncer from Pat Cummins hit Shami?s forearm and the further scans ruled out the cricketer from the entire tour.</p>



<p>The pacer was expected to return to the field on the India-England series however he was not considered match-fit for the tedious series and hence kept out of the squad.</p>



<p>According to the reports, Shami has been working on his fitness and has started bowling in the nets at National Cricket Academy (NCA) Bangalore. The cricketer will have to undergo a mandatory seven days quarantine before heading to the bio-bubble of Punjab Kings.</p>



<p>"He is fine as far as I know. He is coming to the bio-bubble for the quarantine and he will be out in a few days. I know he hasn't played any matches since his injury but he is good to go. We are really looking forward to him playing a few practice games and then getting ready for the first game," Kumble told Sportstar.</p>



<p>This time the rebranded Punjab Kings looks to have a formidable pace attack. They have roped in Jhye Richardson, Moises Henriques and Riley Meredith for INR 14 Crores, INR 4.2 Crores and INR 8 Crores respectively. Both the Australians had an outstanding Big Bash League season 10. PBKS also have some of the retained pacers in the squad with the likes of Chris Jordan, Arshdeep Singh, Ishan Porel, and Darshan Nalkande.</p>

<p><em>IPL 2022: 3 Players on whom Punjab Kings (PBKS) might use Right To Match (RTM) card in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.</em></p>



<p><strong>IPL 2022: </strong>The newly rebranded Punjab Kings (PBKS) will have to do a lot of homework before heading to the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. They will have to figure out multiple things in the squad and create a well-balanced team.?</p>



<p>All these years, Punjab Kings (PBKS) has failed to show a steady growth which later cost them. Ever Since KL Rahul has taken the leadership role, he is under serious pressure to perform for the side and most of the runs for his team are scored by him only.?</p>



<p>PBKS somehow will have to reduce the pressure from the shoulders of KL Rahul and create a well-balanced squad with quality all-rounders and finishers in the squad.</p>



<p>In this article, we will discuss three Players on whom Punjab Kings (PBKS) might use their Right To Match (RTM) card in the forthcoming IPL 2022 Mega Auction.</p>

<h2>3 Players on whom Punjab Kings (PBKS) might use Right To Match (RTM) card:</h2>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Mohammad Shami:</span></strong></h3>



<p>Senior Indian pacer, Mohammad Shami should be their primary target going forth in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. He looked average in the IPL 2021 however did extremely well in the previous IPL 2020. He is very good at the death where he restricted batters to score easy runs.</p>



<p>Besides this, Shami is the senior-most bowler in the arsenal of Punjab Kings (PBKS) and leaving him in the auction will force the franchise to buy another bowler with an equal skill set which I feel is quite a task.?</p>



<p>He picked 8 wickets in 8 games for PBKS in IPL 2021 while scalped 20 wickets in 14 games in the previous season in UAE.</p>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Ravi Bishnoi:</span></strong></h3>



<p>Another Indian name that comes ahead for Punjab Kings (PBKS) is of tweaker Ravi Bishnoi. The young spinner impressed everyone with his skills in his debut season where he trapped players in his googlies and leg-spin.</p>



<p>Although, he was not given a chance in the first couple of games in PBKS but when he got one, he made an immediate impact. Bishnoi has a lot to offer and will prosper under the eyes of Anil Kumble in PBKS.</p>



<p>Last year, Bishnoi scalped 12 wickets while in Vivo IPL 2021 he picked 4 wickets in four games.</p>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Shahrukh Khan:</span></strong></h3>



<p>The Tamil Nadu all-rounder was bought by Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2021 Auctions for whooping INR 5.25 Crores. Shahrukh Khan did not have a lot to flex under his stats but definitely, he is a good prospect for the future.</p>



<p>Khan played some crucial knocks in IPL 2021. He scored 47 off 36 in his only second game when his team was struggling. He also played multiple little cameos late in the innings to power Punjab Kings to a good total.</p>



<p>He managed to do well for his team when he had no support from the other end. In the Vivo IPL 2021, Khan amassed 107 runs in seven innings with a average of 21.40.</p>

<p><strong>Vivo IPL 2021: </strong>The newly rebranded Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Friday signed Australian pacer Nathan Ellis for the upcoming leg of the Vivo IPL 2021. Ellis is also picked by Cricket Australia as a reserve player for the Twenty20 World Cup 2021.</p>



<p>The development came soon after the franchise, Punjab Kings, learnt about the unavailability of Jhye Richardson and Riley Meredith. The two cricketers have been ruled out of the second leg of the Vivo IPL 2021.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>PBKS confirmed the development and also informed that the franchise was totally unaware of the unavailability of Richardson and Meredith until yesterday. The announcement came after Cricket Australia?s (CA?s) press conference held a day before.</p>



<p>"We were not aware of the fitness status of Jhye and Riley until yesterday," Punjab Kings team's CEO Satish Menon said, confirming the signing to Cricbuzz. "We have signed Ellis as a replacement player. We will announce the second replacement in a day or two," PBKS CEO said.</p>



<p>"We are in talks with a few players. Anil (Kumble, the head coach) will finalise one soon."</p>

<p>Ellis, who has been a new signing for PBKS, picked up a brilliant hat-trick in the recent T20I series against Bangladesh. He removed Mahdmullah, Mehidy Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman in the final deliveries of the match to complete his hattrick. Nathan Ellis is the only cricketer to have a hat-trick on a T20I debut.</p>



<p>It is also noteworthy that Ellis went unsold in the January mini Auctions held of the IPL 2021.</p>



<p>The IPL franchises will now look to cover all its areas left due to the unavailability of the players. A few key players have been injured and will not take part in the upcoming season of the IPL while a few are skipping the tournament due to their personal reasons.</p>



<p>Rajasthan Royals (RR) pacer Jofra Archer was earlier ruled out for the entire year due to elbow injury while KKR pacer Pat Cummins will not participate in the tournament as he and his wife are expecting their first baby.</p>

<p><strong>IND vs ENG 3rd T20I: </strong>With already leading the series 2-0, hosts India are all set to take on England in the third T20I of the five-match T20I series. The Third T20I of the series is slated to be played at Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot on 28th January. </p>
<p>India clinched a nail-biting victory against England in the second T20I, successfully chasing a target of 166 with only two wickets to spare. The standout performer was Tilak Varma, who played a crucial role with an unbeaten 72 off 55 balls. His calm and steady innings helped India overcome tricky situations and secure the win.  </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e2ff242f.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>England’s fast bowlers, including Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, put up a strong fight, but Archer had an off day, conceding a costly 60 runs in his four-over spell. This turned the game in India’s favor and proved to be a decisive factor in the outcome.  </p>
<p>As the teams prepare for the next match, India will aim to carry forward their momentum and clinch the series, while England looks to sharpen their execution, especially in the bowling department. With the spotlight on the Niranjan Shah Stadium pitch and its history, both sides are set for an exciting showdown.</p>
<p>Let's take a look at the Niranjan Shah Stadium Pitch Report, Ground Details and Playing Conditions:</p>
<h2><strong>Niranjan Shah Stadium Ground Details</strong></h2>
<p>Niranjan Shah Stadium, formerly known as Saurashtra Cricket Stadium, at Rajkot is set to host the third T20I of the IND vs ENG series. Also known as Khandheri Cricket Stadium, this stadium hosted the last T20I two years ago on 7th January 2023.</p>

<h2><strong>Niranjan Shah Stadium Pitch Report</strong></h2>
<p>The pitch at Niranjan Shah Cricket Stadium in Rajkot is well-known for being a paradise for batters, thanks to its flat surface, consistent bounce, and good pace. These conditions make it ideal for stroke play and high-scoring matches.  </p>
<p>Early in the game, pacers will need to depend on clever variations like slower balls and cutters to keep the batters in check. As the match progresses, spinners are expected to come into play, with the surface offering some turn and bounce, adding an extra challenge for batters.  </p>
<p>Historically, teams batting first have had the upper hand at this venue. The flat pitch makes it easier to pile up big scores initially, while chasing tends to get trickier as conditions change in the second innings. This makes the toss a critical factor, with captains likely opting to bat first and take full advantage of the batting-friendly conditions early on.</p>

The Niranjan Shah Stadium pitch favors batters with its flat surface and consistent bounce. Pacers need variations, spinners thrive later, and batting first offers a clear advantage, making the toss crucial.

A flat, batter-friendly pitch with challenges for bowlers. Toss is key as batting first typically secures an edge.

<p>The marquee event of this year, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is approaching quickly and Pakistan are busy finalizing preparations to compete as the hosts. They will be competing in a Tri-Series versus South Africa and New Zealand before the Champions Trophy and this bilateral event will act as a preparatory ground for the Mohammad Rizwan-led team. </p>
<p>They have momentum on their side as they will be entering the tournament on the back of historic series wins in South Africa and Australia and also a good performance in the Tri Series will definitely increase their confidence and morale. </p>
<p>Interestingly, the hosts are the only team who haven't unveiled their squad yet for the meha event of this year and questions about their unannounced squad have already started to raise and discussions have sparked. </p>
<p>With explosive opener Saim Ayub struggling with an ankle fracture, several news reports have claimed that the Pakistani selectors might consider bringing in the likes of Shan Masood back into the One-Day International setup. Apart from the Test Captain, the National Team selectors might also consider bringing in some forgotten players and let's take a look at three such forgotten players who might get a chance to make their comebacks into the team in the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Usama Mir  </strong></h2>
<p>29-year-old spinner Usama Mir might find himself back in the squad for Champions Trophy 2025. With 15 scalps to his name in 12 One-Day Internationals, Usama has demonstrated his ability to outfox opposition batters with his unpredictable variations. While the duo of Sufiyan Muqeem and Abrar Ahmed have shown promise, their lack of experience in 50 over Cricket could lead the selectors to pick Usama Mir over the two above mentioned players. In List-A Cricket, the 29-year-old has dismissed 86 batters in 58 contests, which further strengthens his case. </p>
<h2><strong>Shadab Khan</strong></h2>
<p>Once considered as the backbone of Pakistan's spin bowling unit, Shadab Khan has been away from One-Day Cricket due to a prolonged rough patch with the ball. The leg spin bowling All-rounder, with 85 scalps and 855 runs to his name in 70 One-Day Internationals, still remains a valuable asset for the Green Shirts. </p>
<p>Keeping in mind the middle order struggles of the defending champions, Khan's ability to contribute with both ball &amp; bat could help him in securing a spot in Pakistan's Champions Trophy 2025 squad. His experience and a knack of performing in high-pressure situations makes him a strong contender for making a comeback to the National Team.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Imam-ul-Haq</strong></h2>
<p>29-year-old Imam-ul-Haq, a reliable opening batter with a total of 3,138 One-Day International runs to his name at a good average of 48.27, last participated in an ODI match during the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. With Saim Ayub missing out due to an ankle injury and Abdullah Shafique struggling for form with the bat, the Pakistani selectors might turn to Imam in order to provide stability to the top-order. His proven track-record in ODI's make him a perfect option for the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.</p>
<p>The selection committee of Pakistan's Men's National Cricket Team faces some tough decisions ahead of 2025 Champions Trophy. While the trio of Imam, Shadab and Usama may seem like surprising picks, their skill sets and experience could prove to be very crucial on home soil. Pakistani fans eagerly await the squad announcement of the National Team and they are hoping to see a balanced team capable of defending the Champions Trophy. </p>

<p>In the all-important final of the 2002 Natwest Trophy, Team India chased down the difficult target of 326 runs and defeated England and this victory proved to be a really historic one. After securing this victory, Dads took off his jersey and waved it on the famous Lord's balcony. This moment became a symbol of the new era of Indian Cricket and showing this moment can truly make the biopic of Ganguly special.</p>
<h2><strong>Differences with Rahul Dravid</strong></h2>
<p>The friendship between two legends of Indian Cricket, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid was quite famous in the world of Cricket. But when Greg Chappell became the head coach of the National Team, differences started arising between the two players. Ganguly didn't like Chappell's arbitrariness and he expressed his displeasure with Dravid that he was not saying anything to Chappell despite being the skipper. This is the main reason why there was a distance between the two.</p>
<h3><strong>Greg Chappell Controversy</strong></h3>
<p>In 2005, the controversy between coach Greg Chappell and Ganguly created a stir in the world of Cricket. The former Australian batter wrote an email to the BCCI and called Ganguly "physically &amp; mentally" unfit for handling the leadership duties of the Men in Blue. This entire controversy was leaked to the Indian media and it made a lot of headlines.</p>
<h2><strong>Differences with Ravi Shastri</strong></h2>
<p>During the selection of the head coach of the Indian Team in 2016, a dispute was created between Ravi Shastri and Sourav Ganguly. The former had given his interview through a video call and the latter didn't attend the interview through a video call. Apart from Ganguly, the likes of VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar were also a part of the committee formed for the selection of the Head Coach. </p>
<p>As Dada didn't attend the video call, a rhetoric was created between him and Shastri. This dispute became the main talking point in Indian Media.</p>
<h3><strong>Rumours of an affair with actress Nagma</strong></h3>
<p>During the 1999 ODI World Cup, the news of an affair between actress Nagma and Cricketer Sourav Ganguly popped up in the headlines. Although the Cricketer always denied it, the actress later confirmed the relationship and said that they had ended it in the interest of the country. Ganguly was already married and was the father of a child too at that time so the affair rumours proved to be very significant.</p>
