IPL 2025: Predicting starting four overseas players of PBKS

Punjab Kings, earlier known as Kings XI Punjab, have been a part of the Indian Premier League from the start of the tournament. However, they have not been able to win the trophy even a single time in this long duration. They finished second last in the points table in the previous edition of the tournament.

To change the fate of the team, they have rebuilt the team from scratch. Let us take a look at a few overseas players who might be included in the starting XI.

1. Josh Inglis

The batter in form from the Australian team, Josh Inglis might be the most valuable overseas batter in the team. He has been quite clinical for his nation’s success in the recent few matches hitting the opposition bowlers for fun.

He is yet to make his debut in the Indian Premier League but has been phenomenal in the shortest format of the game. Playing 139 T20 games, he has scored with a strike rate of 148.06 and has collected 3370 runs. He is also a designated wicketkeeper which makes his chances of playing furthermore.

2. Glenn Maxwell

Famously known as the Big Show for his stellar performances, especially in crucial situations, Glenn Maxwell comes back to the team where his performance had peaked in the Indian Premier League. He has not been able to put up a good show in the IPL in the last few seasons but he would be looking forward to getting in form here.

Having played a total of 134 matches in the IPL, he has smashed 2771 runs with a strike rate of 156.73. He has also been bowling pretty well and has taken away 37 wickets in the process. He will definitely be starting the tournament within the playing XI.

3. Marco Jansen

The tall young all-rounder hailing from South Africa, Marco Jansen can probably be the most crucial link in the team’s set-up. He has been in brilliant form in the last few years and has been one of the major reasons for his nation’s success.

Providing the left-arm bowling arm option, he is a deadly bowler who can get you right at the start of the innings as well as towards the end of it as well. He has taken away 112 wickets with an economy of 8.19 playing in 99 T20 games. He also can score crucial runs down the order and can hit the ball well. Striking at 140.18, he has scored 907 runs in the same period.

4. Marcus Stoinis

Punjab Kings have amassed many all-rounders in the team but they have collected all quality players in the process. Another such brilliant all-rounder in the Punjab side is the Australian player, Marcus Stoinis.

He holds the capability to run the match on his own with the bat while also getting the crucial wickets under pressure. Stoinis has made 1866 runs with a strike rate of 142 in 96 matches in the league while picking up 43 wickets in the process. His match-winning capability makes him a first choice as a starting overseas player for the Punjab Kings.
