KLASSY Rahul is on Top!
KL Rahul is the all-time leading run scorer for PBKS to date. While playing for Punjab from 2018 to 2021, he was also the captain of the team until 2021. In 2018, he scored the fastest 50 off 14 balls.
Apart from the second-highest run-getter, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell’s season with the Punjab Kings in 2014 was also one of the golden times for PBKS in the IPL. That year, Maxwell contributed most of the runs for the franchise and helped the team reach the finals.
As mentioned earlier, the Punjab Kings consistently rely on foreign players, successful teams like CSK and the Mumbai Indians always have an amazing Indian core strength, which Punjab lacks. This is the major issue that Punjab needs to figure out if they want to succeed in future seasons.
