IPL 2021: Team-wise five players who are regular starters for the upcoming season
Every franchise has some players who are expected to play in all the matches.
8. Punjab Kings
Kings XI Punjab franchise has renamed themselves as Punjab Kings and have made some solid buys in the IPL 2021 auction. One of them is Jhye Richardson, who was bought for INR 14 crores. His recent form in the Big Bash League 2020-21 will make a sure-shot player in every game for Punjab.
Punjab’s captain KL Rahul had another impressive season with the bat last year but didn’t get the right kind of support from his team, which was required to take them to the playoffs. His opening partner, Mayank Agarwal is another crucial member of this franchise given his numbers in T20s and performances in the last season of the IPL.
Mohammed Shami would be expected to pair up with Richardson to form a lethal fast-bowling combination. He has been at the peak of his form in all formats in the past few years. Nicholas Pooran should be the firepower in the middle-order, who would be feared by the opposition for his ability to take the match away at any point.
