6 Potential Players Punjab Kings Should Buy in IPL Auction 2022

Punjab Kings have already lost their finest batter cum captain KL Rahul, who decided to part ways with the franchise after the IPL 2021. He was a lone batter most of the time who carried the team to the finishing line, although couldn’t  finish games on many occasions.

Punjab Kings wants to build a fresh team, and hence retained only two of their performers- Mayank Aggarwal and uncapped bowler Arshdeep Singh who were the other two consistent player in the side after KL Rahul. We believe Mayank Aggarwal would certainly be handed over the captaincy role and thus will look towards the other spots in the team to be filled.

Here are the top 6 potential players Punjab Kings should buy in IPL Auction 2022

 

1. Steve Smith

After gaining back the vice captaincy role for Australian side for the Ashes 2021-22, Steven Smith will be high on confidence and is back on track with the form too. He loves to bat at number 3 position and this spot is empty with the opportunity to be grabbed by the Aussie. He can also be picked as a captain in IPL Auction 2022 for Punjab Kings.

 

2. Shikhar Dhawan

A steady performer who has proved his class, and yet has not been able to settle at a franchise permanently. After his release from Delhi Capitals, Indian batter is expected to be back in IPL Auction 2022, however he is expected to go at a decent price. Thus, what’s better than Shikhar Dhawan opening the innings for Punjab Kings.

3. Trent Boult

The Kiwi pacer is expected to be in demand at the IPL Mega Auction 2022, whichever team he picks him will have a sure merits of taking oppositions wickets in powerplay. Thus, Punjab Kings will be eyeing on him as powerplay has been their weakness both from batting and bowling view.

4. James Neesham

The ex-Mumbai Indians allrounder is a smart choice to be picked up by Punjab Kings in IPL Auctions 2022. In the recently concluded he took 3 wickets against Rajasthan Royals which turned the match in Mumbai’s favor IPL, and his explosive finishing touch can turn the favors of match on their side. Therefore, with heavy amount left in purse, PBKS should surely go after him.

5. Jonny Bairstow

Jonny Bairstow provides the strength to a team which every franchise desires. He can open the innings as well as bat in the middle order with a long experience from his national team. A player who knows how to finish the game which entirely lacks in this franchise over the years.

6. Prasidh Krishna

The amount of extra pace and bounce generated by the young man is enough to surprise any batsman. Although, he does leak some extra run but he is worth to be taken into consideration. On his day, he will definitely turn the match in his team’s favor single handedly. He can be a very handy bet in IPL Auction 2022 for Punjab Kings
