Prior to the start of the tournament, it felt like PBKS had a relatively inexperienced bowling unit compared to some of the other teams. However, they have performed well in the circumstances. Vijaykumar Vyshak is currently the joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with five scalps to his name. 

Yuzvendra Chahal is expected to be the Punjab-based side’s designated impact substitute option and their lead spinner. He has so far picked up three wickets in the competition.


Punjab Kings' predicted playing XI in Match 12, IPL 2026:

Prabhsimran Singh (WK), Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (C), Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh, Vyshak Vijaykumar, and Xavier Bartlett
 
Impact Player: Yuzvendra Chahal
