With moments of genius interspersed with erratic lineup changes, Punjab Kings' IPL 2025 campaign was uneventful. A number of gifted players struggled to get consistent playing time or positions that were well-defined.
Some players might gain a lot from a new setting where their abilities are better used and they have the steady support they need to develop and provide their best effort as the team prepares for the 2026 Indian Premier League.
Here are the 3 PBKS Players who deserve a better team in IPL 2026:
1. Mitchell Owen
In IPL 2025, Mitchell Owen's potential as a powerful middle-order batsman was rarely realized. His prospects were slim, and he sometimes entered games without adequate planning, which undermined his confidence.
He may become a dependable finisher with a side like the Delhi Capitals or Rajasthan Royals, which would give him a steadier role and more chances to accumulate innings and play his aggressive style of play.
2. Harpreet Brar
In the IPL 2025, Harpreet Brar, a talented left-arm orthodox spinner, did not get enough use out of his bowling abilities. He didn't have enough opportunities to develop rhythm or use the ball to its fullest because of inconsistent selection.
A transfer to a team that supports spinners, like Sunrisers Hyderabad or CSK, may give him a more defined role and consistent chances to make a big impact with the bat and the ball.
3. Kuldeep Sen
Kuldeep Sen is an enticing prospect because of his speed and bounce, but his prospects of bowling important stints in the IPL 2025 were limited by PBKS's crowded pace attack, which prevented him from gaining the experience he needed to advance.
He might establish himself as a frontline bowler and hone his talents under seasoned coaches by joining a side like the Chennai Super Kings or Gujarat Titans, where there is space for young fast bowlers to develop slowly.
