So, Bairstow will be a key player among Punjab Kings New Players for in this year's IPL season.

Sam Curran:

Sam Curran adds great value and stability to the Punjab Kings 2024 Squad as he can bowl economical spells in the innings and provide a near-perfect finishing touch to the innings with his exceptional batting display. Therefore, he needs to step up and will be a key prospect for Punjab in the upcoming IPL season.

Chris Woaks:

Sikandar Raza:

The Pakistani-born, Zimbabwean All-rounder was fantastic in his debut IPL season last year where he contributed to the team's victories significantly. He won two back-to-back matches on his own where he played quick-fire innings in the later end of innings to take the team over the line.
