Summary of PBKS Team Advantages

PBKS (Punjab Kings) prefers to use young players and rookies, and their team-building approach is different from other franchises. Instead of relying on a roster full of senior players, they focus on discovering emerging talent. The infusion of new players brings unpredictable outcomes to the games, which can be seen as a very cool strategic approach.

The team’s primary focus is on “scoring aggressively,” and in 2025, they continue to boast several strong batsmen like Shreyas Iyer, Shashank Singh, and Harnoor Pannu. The bowlers predominantly focus on variations and pace.

Although PBKS prioritizes scoring, as of 2024, their team score record is not the highest in the IPL! Their scoring level is considered “average,” with RCB, CSK, RR, and KKR having higher scores.

💡Currently, PBKS’ overall strength still lags behind the top teams. Vegas11 recommends betting on PBKS’ opponent for a higher chance of winning and better profits!
