Punjab kings
In IPL 2025, the Punjab Kings team will play their next match against Rajasthan Royals on 18 May. This will be the 59th match of this season which will be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The Rajasthan team has already been out of the playoff race. At the same time, Punjab has a golden opportunity to make its place in the top-4 this season. In such a situation, the Punjab team would like to get down with a strong playing XI this match. But the biggest tension for Punjab is that some of their foreign players will not be available for this match.
Two star players of PBKS took their name back
The Punjab Kings team has so far performed brilliantly in the league stage matches. He has played 11 matches so far, out of which he has won 7 and is at number three in the points table with 15 points. Shreyas Iyer’s team would like to maintain the rhythm of victory in the upcoming matches as well. But this will not be so easy for them. The team’s two star foreign players Jose England and Marcus Stoinis will no longer be available for the remaining matches. Now it will have to be seen who is included in the team in place of these two.
Some players are out due to injury
Glenn Maxwell and Lockey Ferguson have been ruled out of the tournament due to injury. The franchise has announced the temporary replacement of both these players. Mitchell Oven has been included in the team in place of Maxwell. Kyle Jaimison has come in the team in place of Ferguson. It is very difficult to say whether these two players will get a chance or not. The good thing for Punjab is that all Indian players present in their squad are available. To make the playing XI of this match, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer will have to be very proud. Now it will be interesting to see which playing XI he descends in the match against Rajasthan.
Punjab Kings Potential Playing XI: Prabhasimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Mitchell Oven, Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Nehal Vadhera, Shashank Singh, Kyle Jaimison, Marco Johnson, Ajmatullah Umarjai, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh
