Punjab Kings (PBKS) owner – Who is the owner of PBKS in IPL 2023?

Mohit Burman, Preity Zinta, Ness Wadia and Karan Paul are the joint PBKS owner for the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Punjab Kings (PBKS) is one of the teams, which is yet to win the coveted IPL title.

They have had players like David Miller, Yuvraj Singh, Brett Lee and many others over the years. But the team has just not been able to deliver. 2014 was their best season when they advanced to the final of the tournament where they lost to Gautam Gambhir’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Wriddhiman Saha scored a hundred for them, but Manish Pandey’s knock in KKR’s run-chase overshadowed it. The team has underperformed to the extent that they have not reached the playoffs since playing in the final ten years back against the Knights.

They named David Warner, Ravi Ashwin, Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal as their captains, but none of them were able to turn the fortunes of the team. Dhawan, however, remains the skipper of the team although the Punjab-based franchise failed to make their way through to the playoffs even last time around.

However, one of their big positives from last season was Prabhsimran Singh, who took the team off to flying starts on several instances. The youngster also scored a hundred against the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.

The decision to bring in Sikandar Raza also paid rich dividends as he delivered with both bat and ball. Having won 14 Player of the Match awards in T20Is over the last 18 months, the Zimbabwean cricketer is in the form of his life.

Before the auction, the Kings released seven of their players, including Baltej Dhanda, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Gurnoor Singh Brar, Matthew Short, Mohit Rathee, Raj Angad Bawa and Shahrukh Khan.

Arshdeep Singh and Rahul Chahar remain as two of their main Indian cricketers. Arshdeep will be high on confidence after picking up his maiden five-wicket haul in ODIs against South Africa at the New Wanderers Stadium. Chahar also had a decent campaign in the Vijay Hazare Trophy recently.

Jonny Bairstow would be raring to step out on for the Kings after he missed out last season due to an injury. He has Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone for company among his English teammates.
