Shahrukh Khan
Shahrukh Khan was signed by Punjab for a staggering sum of 9 crores, however, the deal did not go as planned. With an average of 16.71 and a strike rate of 108.33, he only managed to score 117 runs in 8 games.
Prior to the upcoming season, the management retained them and continued to have faith in him. They can utilize his “Impact Player” status and power-hitting prowess in games that they must win.
Rahul Chahar
Rahul Chahar was signed by Punjab for a fee of 5.5 crores. His first year with the team did not go as well as he had hoped. The spinner only took 14 wickets when many more were anticipated of him. Chahar is still a young man and is quite talented.
Chahar might be employed as a key player in Kolkata and Chepauk, where the pitches favor spinners. To bowl the crucial overs, he can be called up and then replaced by any other player.
Harpreet Brar
In one IPL game, Brar holds the distinction of catching Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and AB de Villiers. He has been representing Punjab in the IPL since 2019, and the team should start giving him regular games.
Punjab might utilize him as an Impact Player due to his capacity to pick important wickets.
