Punjab Kings 2024: Player List & Stats
Punjab Kings (also known as PBKS) is one of the ten teams participating in the Indian Premier League 2024. Based in Mohali, in the northern state of Punjab, this team is owned by famous industrialist Ness Wadia, Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, and businessmen Mohit Burman and Karan Paul. While its home matches are played at the PCA Stadium, Mohali, at times, the venue of its home matches also shifts to Dharamsala or Indore.
For most of IPL’s history, the team was known as Kings XI Punjab (KXIP); however, the owners renamed it Punjab Kings to rebrand the team. Over the years, PBKS has not been able to establish itself as a successful team of the IPL. 2014 was the most successful season for the team when it topped the league table and ended as runners-up. Apart from that, PBKS has managed to reach the playoffs only once. The team has lacked consistency; however, the owners have attempted to rebuild it a few times.

Punjab Kings IPL Betting Odds
While PBKS has struggled over the years and has never won the IPL, Fun88’s experts think that this team has the potential to reach the playoffs stage of the IPL 2024. The management has rejigged the team and brought in a number of experienced campaigners.
Punjab Kings’ batting is the stuff of dreams with the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Harshal Patel and Rilee Rossouw. Currently, on Fun88, Punjab Kings betting odds are 7.0 for them to win the IPL 17th season. Besides, they have also retained Kagiso Rabada – one of the most successful bowlers of the IPL. Rabada is well known for taking wickets in death overs. Apart from Rabada, PBKS has capable bowlers like Rahul Chahar and Arshdeep Singh.
For Dhawan, taking his team far will still be challenging. As Punjab Kings’ captain, he’ll have to quickly start making the right decisions to ensure that Punjab Kings deliver better results this time than earlier. He will also have to ensure that Punjab Kings’ below-par performances in the previous editions of the IPL do not haunt them anymore. Over the years, PBKS has been a laggard of the league, having never won the cup. Their best performance was way back in 2014 when they reached the final but eventually lost to Kolkata Knight Riders. Since then, Punjab Kings has not managed to reach the playoffs despite having some talented players on their side.
That being said, there’s no doubt that this team has potential for IPL 2024, thanks to a number of super-talented batsmen and quite a few good bowlers on the PBKS side. As a result, Punjab Kings’ betting odds are in their favor to make it to the playoffs.
Punjab Kings IPL Betting Tips
PBKS is one of the IPL’s least successful teams, with just one final to show their team strength. Thus, Punters rely on Fun88 to get exclusive Punjab Kings betting tips, completely free!
- If you want to bet on the leading scorer of IPL 2024 (or the batsman who will win the orange cap), then Punjab Kings has two serious contenders – Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone. Shikhar was the fourth leading run-scorer of the IPL 2021 and is the second-highest run-getter in the IPL history with 6617 runs to his name. On the other hand, Liam can strike the ball cleanly and has over 5957 runs to his name with a strike rate of over 145 in 251 T20 matches.
- Similarly, if you want to bet on the leading wicket-taker of IPL 2024 (or the bowler who will win the purple cap), then look no further than Kagiso Rabada. Rabada had earlier won the purple cap in IPL 2020 by taking 30 wickets in the tournament. Besides, in IPL 2019, he was the second-highest wicket-taker. Keep an eye on Arshdeep Singh, too, who took 18 wickets in IPL 2021 and 17 wickets in 2023. He was the ninth-highest wicket-taker in 2021 and eleventh-highest wicket taker in 2023 of the tournament.
- Punjab Kings Coach, Trevor Bayliss has the potential to turn a struggling team into a winning team by nurturing high-quality players.
- Shahrukh Khan was released by the team, and Captain Shikhar Dhawan has a challenge ahead of him to perform and take the team to victory.
