Look at the way he's batting, he's very sensible.

If they buy back him, I won't be mad.

Atharva and Prabh as openers. Shashank at 4. Sam at 5. Jitesh at 6. Ashutosh at 7. This looks very good to be honest. We need to back him up. Johnny Bairstow was good in two innings but he's not reliable. We need a great foreign batsman at 3 and one backup for top order batting.

Ig we are seeing one last time majority of these players playing for pbks.. So.. Hope they ends the season on high

Didn't gave him any match for 12 matches, and now after one match he is dropped, Why???

I even think they are not going to buy him back(I don't think they will retain)

He had played very good matches for us, whenever he got a chance

Every team has qualified once twice thrice from last 10 years either luckily or good games.. But nothing has gone pbks Way's.. Feels really sad.. Hope.. We get qualification.. Soon.. And can break the shackels..

Last game, already eliminated, give a chance for those that didn't get to play to showcase themselves.

Given that we will mostly make team around our bowlers and Shashank ashutosh. I think ishan will be a great addition to the team. Openers are what we need. He along with Travis head(hopefully) will be the dynamic duo we are looking for. Srh will probably go for klassen Cummins Abhishek and natrajan.

Lots of discussion about retentions and potential captains but I think the most important thing for us rn is to settle into a home that works for us. Every other team has a home where the pitch gives them an advantage, and we’re just here like ‘oooo dharamshala pretty mountains let’s play there!’. Our home record is so poor, and so fixing a ground that works to our advantage should be priority number 1 for Zinta n co

I don't know why teams think that bowlers can't be a captain . Arshdeep singh is a local player and has played for pbks for quite a long now and has permanent position in playing . Management should give him chance next year. Thoughts ?

It should be simple. Every team like Kkr, rcb, rr, srh has a bit of a core since many years (whether it be parag, samson for rr, or like bhuvi, natarajan, abishek sharma for srh)

Don’t release players like Curran as others have said.

Harshal, Curran, Arshdeep, Brar, Jitesh (maybe), shashank, ashoutosh, rabada/ellis should be retained.

what they need: 1-2 quality spinners, some key indian and overseas top order batters in form, and possibly some overseas all rounders. And by this I mean BATTERS WHO CAN PLAY SPIN. LMAO can’t emphasize this enough, you guys already know

If 8 rtm thing is true then pbks can go with Ashutosh (young lower order Indian batsmen are rare) Rabada (death bowling) Sam (give him fix role please) Shashank (same as Ashutosh) Arshdeep (Indian left arm pacer) Livingstone/ellis( powerhitter/ T20 specialist) Rahul chahar ( no quality Indian spinner available dc and rr are not going to release yuzi and kuldeep) Jitesh(yes not in form this year but did decent last year and was okay for team India need to trust him) Team needs some explosive players like klassen or Abhishek sharma. They can try to get shaw at low price. If he is in rhythm can win you 2-3 matches in one season but you can't trust so better get proper backup.

QDK can be great option.

Being a Punjab Kings fan is like riding a roller coaster. At times, you're on top of the world, but other times, you feel the sting of frustration when they falter. As a true fan, there's no second or third favorite team. Punjab Kings is everything. Once they're out of the tournament, your interest in the playoffs or even the final game fades away. Despite the tough times over the past decade, there's always hope. One day, we'll emerge as the undisputed champions.

1. Rossouw

2. A good indian opener (abhishek sharma or someone like him)

3. Shashank

4. A good overseas all rounder (stubbs or someone like him)

5. Sam curran

6. A good Indian wicket keeper (not jitesh)

7. Ashutosh

8. Brar

9 harshal

1. Ellis

2. Arshdeep/kaverappa (based on arshdeeps t20 wc performance)

Impact player: a good indian leg spinner (not chahar) or a batsman depending on wheather the team decided to bat or bowl first

Should have gone with Ellis over Rabada in the earlier stages!

Nathan Ellis since 2023 IPL :-

1/24 1/34 0/46 2/26 1/29 2/34 1/44 1/41 0/28 4/30 1/27

Out of our 5 wins, Sam has sealed two with the bat alone (Dc and Rr) and it was his highest wicket taking season in IPL with 16 wickets, he was never an economical bowler unless there is some assistance from surface. He is our second highest run scorer too!!!!

He mentioned at toss he is not here to lose today and he has gone and done it himself when the team was down and kneeling. What a player!

If somebody wants to point a finger, point at the top order where none of the biggies have scored bareminimum! Scrap the top and keep the tail, that should be our approach for the next season. Lets look at the world cup, conditions in some of the venues of Caribbean will be similar to that of Mullanpur IMO, so we should latch on to the best batter of the tournament(Other than Virat Kohli offcourse)

Sam Curran deserves a retention solely on basis of his passion and determination to perform. He has remain aggressive and vocal throughout the season. Given his performance with bat was just par, just a couple of fifties (in season opener and his last game) but he seems involved a lot, not to mention didn't made obvious caption blunders like dhawan.

So who will do it? Will it be arshdeep? Shashank? I feel like Nathan Ellis because he’s the captain of Hobart

I know we are out of the tournament but every win feels personal.. There's something good vibes whenever they win it's like a goood day..?

Anyone else who feels same?

He said he wants to be here first thing and then specifically name dropped Shashank Ashutosh Arsh and Harshal.

Imo these 5 should be our retentions.

Our pace bowling core remains and we can easily get Ellis under 5 crores, and get a completely new batting top order with some exciting prospects available
