Delhi: The Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) are going to start in Ahmedabad against Gujarat Titans (GT). However, the team is still confused about its opening pair. Despite a strong pre-season camp and new team combination in Dharamshala, Punjab has not yet decided who will start the innings.
In the Gujarat Titans' fast bowling attack, there are deadly bowlers like Kagiso Rabada and Mohammad Siraj, who can make this decision of Punjab more difficult. However, the team management has full confidence in the depth of their players and their adaptability.
'Don't know who will open'
Punjab Kings are insisting on playing an aggressive and fearless brand cricket this time. At the pre-match press conference, Assistant Coach Brad Headin admitted that it is a challenge for him to decide the correct opening pair. He said, “We have not yet known who will open. We have players like Marcus Stoinis and Josh English, who have played this role before. We have to prepare the right combination.”
He further said, “Our main focus has been that the players should be fully prepared. We got a chance to know the Indian players closely in the Dharamshala camp. This player is very athletic and this team will play cricket fearlessly.”
Ponting told his goal
Punjab King's new coach Ricky Ponting said a few days ago, “We have only one goal-winning IPL! On the first day of Dharamshala Camp, I told the players that we will form the strongest team in Punjab Kings. It will not be overnight, we will have to work hard for it. We will have to do not just play, but do not win. When the opposing teams want to win us, we see something like that, we are like something, we are like something, we are like something, we are like something, we are like something, and I like it, we are like something like we Do not want to take away. “
