The Punjab kings have been one of those sides who have had a forgetful IPL in the year 2022. The side came in with lots of hopes and aspirations to finally bring an end to their drought that lasted right from the first season of the IPL back in 2008. The management made a lot of remarkable changes to the lineup and squad during the mega auctions ahead of IPL 2022. The team appointed a new captain hoping to get better and more desirable results.&nbsp;



However once again all their expectations ended up in the depths of despair as the side failed to even make it to the playoffs this season too. The team as a whole failed to execute its plans as the dreams of lifting the trophy this season couldn't be achieved by the franchise once again. The big names that were included in the squad this year though displayed a certain number of quality performances, but they weren't just enough to get the team over the line on the majority of the occasions.&nbsp;



The new signings of players like Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, and Kagiso Rabada though seemed incredibly good, didn't bring much success to the side as they all failed to play as a unit during the most important phase of the tournament letting the opposition side run away with the points crucially towards the later half of the season. Another major reason for the team's downfall was the poor show of the newly appointed captain, Mayank Agarwal who couldn't make any valuable contribution throughout the season with the bat.&nbsp;



Just when the race to Playoffs began to become a bit steeper the team totally lost its balance and lost a massively important game against the Delhi Capitals which played a vital role in their getting knocked out so early. The team failed to chase a modest total of just above 150 with such a strong batting lineup. These major hiccups midway between the tournament cost the side a place in the top 4 once again.



<h2>Punjab Kings predictions for IPL 2023</h2>



Though Punjab has failed to make things happen for themselves this season, it will be a big mistake to write them off in the next season as well. The team has got a considerable amount of quality players in it to turn things around in the upcoming season. A big task for the management will be to make the decisions regarding the selection of players more wisely thereby selecting the best possible combination of players to represent the team in the IPL.



Another major thing that the management will have to work on during the mini auction ahead of IPL 2023 is to look for a proper spinner who can choke the runs in the middle overs and pick wickets too. All the things if ho according to plan, the Punjab Kings can certainly change their fortunes in the next year's IPL and lift their maiden trophy in 16 years of IPL history.

If there is one team in the TATA IPL 2023, that has effectively failed to crack the code of the TATA IPL, it is the Punjab Kings. The team has been struggling season after season. They have spent a lot of money over the years but have still managed to disappoint their fans. Their most successful season was in 2014, when they ended as runners-up. But it was the Maxwell and Miller show that helped them that year. Here is a look at what the team looks like in the TATA IPL 2023. What are the chances, and how does it shape up?&nbsp;



<h2>Strengths of the Punjab Kings in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Arshdeep-3-1.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-101112"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Arshdeep Singh (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



Top-heavy batting and the pacers are their big strength. The Punjab Kings have 3 of the best death bowlers. Arshdeep may not be in rock-solid form, but in the IPL, he has always been an asset. He was the death-over specialist for the Punjab Kings in the TATA IPL 2021 and TATA IPL 2022. Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, and Arshdeep Singh! The pace bowling combination doesn?t get any better. The top-heavy batting is another plus point. They have the experience of Shikhar Dhawan and the explosiveness of Jonny Bairstow as well.&nbsp;



<h2>Weakness of the Punjab Kings in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



The weakness is evident in the middle order. They should have picked at least one more established batter. Even if Steve Smith would be in the auction, he would have been a good choice. Michael Bracewell and Dasun Shanaka are two more names that come to mind. They are relying on Bhanuka to get the job done, but he looks a little under-confident at times. Jitesh Sharma and RIshi Dhawan are their possible finishers but both of them are domestic players. They should have tried for one established middle-order batter like Rassie Van Der Dussen.&nbsp;



<h2>Opportunities for the Punjab Kings:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Jitesh-Sharma.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-101776"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: PBKS</figcaption></figure>



There is a big opportunity for Jitesh Sharma to make a strong case in the absence of Rishabh Pant. When Rishabh comes back, he is going to be the star of the show for the Indian cricket team, but in his absence, Jitesh can shine brighter than ever. The other opportunity is for Shikhar Dhawan to make an ODI team comeback after a dominant IPL season. But we have seen Dhawan score 600+ runs in an IPL almost every year. It rarely happens that Shikhar has an off-season and is out of the leaderboards.&nbsp;



<h2>Threats for the Punjab Kings:&nbsp;</h2>



The threat for the Punjab Kings is the availability of the players. The team relies on the top English players. Bairstow, Livingstone, and Sam Curran. If any one of them is asked to be rested by the ECB for the Ashes, the Punjab Kings will be bound to follow the order. But after investing so much, the management at least expects the player to play all the crucial 14 games. The other threat is the form of Rahul Chahar. Rahul Chahar looked relatively off-color last season. It seemed as if the batters could read him. But if that is the case, the mystery of Rahul?s magic has been decoded.&nbsp;



<h2>The Squad of the Punjab Kings:&nbsp;</h2>



Jonny Bairstow (ENG), Prabhsimran Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa (SL), M. Shahrukh Khan, Atharva Taide,&nbsp;Harpreet Bhatia, Raj Bawa, Rishi Dhawan, Liam Livingstone (ENG),&nbsp;Sam Curran (ENG), Sikandar Raza (ZIM), Shivam Singh, Mohit Rathee, Arshdeep Singh, Baltej Singh, Rahul Chahar, Nathan Ellis (AUS), Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada (SA),&nbsp;Vidwath Kaverappa.&nbsp;



Expected Playing XI:&nbsp;



Jonny Bairstow, Shikhar Dhawan(C), Prabhsimarn Singh, Liam Livingstone, Shahrukh Khan, Jitesh Sharma(WK), Sam Curran, Harpreet Brar, Rahul Chahar, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh.&nbsp;



<h2>Schedule of the Punjab Kings in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



The schedule for the TATA IPL 2023 is yet to be announced so, the schedule of the Punjab Kings is yet to be formed. But the tournament is expected to start on the 20th of March.&nbsp;



<h2>Predictions for the Punjab Kings&nbsp;in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



The Punjab Kings will make it to the top 5. They will finish at number 5. The team has struggled to win crucial games and the same trend will be carried on this season. But their captain Shikhar Dhawan will have a splendid season with the bat. He will be their highest run scorer. Their highest wicket-taker could be Sam Curran.&nbsp;



<h2>X-Factor Players for the Punjab Kings in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Liam-Livingstone-min-1.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-101775"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Liam Livingstone is the biggest X-Factor while playing for any team. IMG SRC: ECB.</figcaption></figure>



The X-Factor players for them are Jitesh Sharma and Sam Curran. Both these blokes are expected to play all 14 games. They will form the lower-middle order of the Punjab Kings. The finishing roles will be given to these guys. Jitesh is not a proven match-winner but he gave an effective sample size last season. Sam on the other hand is a proven match-winner. So, it will be great to see if these players come out with flying colors. &nbsp;

TATA IPL 2023: Punjab Kings&nbsp;Best SWOT Analysis, Schedule, Preview, Predictions, Squads, Playing XI.&nbsp;

tata-ipl-2023-punjab-kings-best-swot-analysis-schedule-preview-predictions-squads-playing-xi

The Punjab Kings are one team that has yet to crack the TATA IPL code. The TATA IPL 2023 can be their season, as they have the team that is required to get through. With that being said, the Punjab Kings will rely on a few of their players to deliver big performances and win a few crucial games. Over the years, the team has had many match-winners. They have had Virender Sehwag, Glenn Maxwell, Yuvraj Singh, and David Miller. But who are the key players this season? Here is a look:&nbsp;



<h2>Liam Livingstone is a Key Player for the Punjab Kings:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Liam-Livingstone-min.jpg" alt="Punjab Kings" class="wp-image-97246"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Liam Livingstone will have to bat responsibly as he is a senior player. IMG SRC: ECB</figcaption></figure>



Liam Livingstone is the biggest name that the Punjab Kings have on the roster. He is the most in-demand freelance cricketer. Over the past few years, Livingstone has been a rage in T20 cricket. He is known to take down the opposition single-handedly. &nbsp;



He is a complete player. Liam Livingstone can bowl off spin and leg spin. If required he can be used as a middle-order batter or floater. He is super quick on the field. In all aspects, he is an elite servant of the game. Liam sets an example for the next generation with his performance. Here is a look at his batting stats:?



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>206&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Innings&nbsp;</td><td>195&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Runs&nbsp;</td><td>5022&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>28.8&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Strike Rate&nbsp;</td><td>147.6&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Arshdeep Singh is a Key Player for the Punjab Kings:&nbsp;</h2>



The Punjab Kings will rely on their very own prodigy to deliver crucial performances. Arshdeep will be taking care of the death overs for the men in pink. He has had a poor international run in the past with death overs, but he has always been an asset in the IPL. For the past two seasons, he is the bowler to bowl the most yorkers. &nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/arshdeep-min-1.webp" alt="Punjab Kings" class="wp-image-96753"/></figure>



He has left behind T Natarajan and Jasprit Bumrah too! Arshdeep brings in the left-handed angle, making it very difficult for the opposition batter to deal with. He will give you two good overs in the powerplay and two economical overs at the death.&nbsp;



<h2>Shahrukh Khan is a Key Player:&nbsp;</h2>



Talk about Indian middle-order batters and Shahrukh Khan?s name pops up. For the past two years, the Punjab Kings have been investing in this domestic giant. He has dominated the domestic circuit for the past two years too but has failed to make a big mark in the IPL. The Tamil Nadu batter is expected to be their designated finisher. He has to bat along with the likes of Jitesh Sharma and Liam Livingstone. So, he will have to be the anchor most of the time as these players are great stroke-makers. Here is a look at the domestic T20 stats of Shahrukh Khan: &nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>64&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Innings&nbsp;</td><td>52&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Runs&nbsp;</td><td>709&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>18.65&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Strike Rate&nbsp;</td><td>128.9&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



&nbsp; His numbers do not do justice to his abilities that he has. He is a big-match player and performs when it matters the most. The Punjab Kings have backed him for two long years and it is about time that they get the fruits of this investment. &nbsp;

Punjab Kings: Top 3 Best Key Players to Play for Punjab Kings in TATA IPL 2023.?

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.

On Thursday morning, the scene outside New Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium was nothing short of extraordinary. A massive crowd had gathered well before the match, eager to witness Kohli in action. Long queues stretched for nearly 2 km, with fans patiently waiting for entry. Given his status as Indian cricket biggest crowd-puller the frenzy was hardly surprising. A huge crowd is gathered to see king kohli in  Arun Jaitley Stadium to watch kohli. Reports says that 2KM long queue was showing outside the Arun Jaitley Stadium for virat kohli.
Ranji Trophy action was peaked on January 30 when Virat Kohli, top  star of Indian crickete team, show in his first Ranji Trophy match after a 12-year. Crowd that was shown 2KM away from Arun Jaitley Stadium to see live playing virat kohli. That shows the fan base that kohli and love for indians.
Virat Kohli’s return to the Ranji Trophy after more than a decade has ignited immense excitement among cricket fans, drawing fresh attention to India’s premier domestic tournament. Virat Kohli’s played his last match  in 2012, that was named in Delhi’s starting XI for their clash against Railways.
According to ANI sports  reports Vipul Kashyap, more than 15,000 fans showed up to see Kohli playing in a Ranji Trophy match after 12 year . That  momentous was return after 12 years for cricket fans. The crowd erupted in excitement the moment Kohli stepped onto the field with his teammates. The roar of the fans was deafening, a testament to their admiration for the former India captain. Kohli acknowledged their love, expressing his gratitude with a warm gesture to there fans.
Virat Kohli last played in the Ranji Trophy when Delhi still had former players like Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag. In that match against Uttar Pradesh, he scored 57 runs across two innings, falling to Bhuvneshwar Kumar both times.
Kohli has featured in 23 Ranji matches between 2006  to 2012 debut against Tamil Nadu, scoring 1,574 runs at an impressive average of 50.77, including five centuries.
