What should one expect from Punjab Kings in IPL 2021 is a tough question to answer as they are quite unpredictable. They have been inconsistent with their performance. At times they keep on winning matches and at times they keep on losing them. They have not really performed great at the league level and they have struggled to reach the knockout stages as well.
All in all, they need to improve as team and deliver together is a unit. We hope that KL Rahul would be able to take this responsibility and integrate the team to deliver the best results.
