IPL franchise or Ranji team? There is a lot of confusion taking the internet by storm as Wasim Jaffer, known as a domestic cricket legend, has been appointed as the head coach of the Punjab team. However, we need to wait for the full details to know whether it will be the Punjab Kings IPL team or the Punjab Ranji team, as there has been a lot of confusion online. Many media reports suggest he could go to Punjab Kings, while others say it will be the Punjab Ranji Trophy team. It seems not only cricket fans but also Wasim Jaffer himself might be confused by the speculation. It will be interesting to see which team Wasim Jaffer will join.
Also, it is noteworthy that PBKS is unlikely to retain their current head coach, Trevor Bayliss, who hasn’t had a good time with the IPL franchise. Bayliss, who joined PBKS in 2022, has coached them in 42 games, with 18 wins and 24 losses, giving him a winning percentage of 42.9%. Jaffer might be the one to replace him in IPL 2025, although there is no confirmation yet. As mentioned, ‘confusion is out’ and not the clarification.
Who is Wasim Jaffer?
As mentioned, Wasim Jaffer is known as a domestic cricket legend, having played 260 first-class matches for Mumbai and scoring a total of 19,410 runs with 57 centuries. He also represented India in 31 Test matches, scoring 1,944 runs with a highest score of 212, though he did not achieve as much success at the international level. Jaffer is well-known for donning the Mumbai jersey for more than 15 years. But with all the speculation around, the question now is: which direction will he take next?
