IPL 2026: Punjab Kings' strongest predicted XI against Lucknow Super Giants
The Kings started their season brilliantly, going unbeaten in their first seven games. Now, they sit on the brink of missing the playoffs, having lost six consecutive matches.
Middle order: Shreyas Iyer (c), Shashank Singh, Suryansh Shedge, Azmatullah Omarzai
Captain Shreyas Iyer will have to step up in this crucial encounter for them. The middle-order batter has scored 397 runs so far, with a strike rate of 162.70 with five fifty-plus scores. Shashank Singh will need to step up too. Suryansh Shedge has impressed everyone with his attacking game in just a few games.
Afghanistan's Azmatullah Omarzai gives them an all-round option, with his special ability to tonk the ball hard during the death overs, playing a perfect role as a finisher. He is also a handy option with his right-arm medium pace, providing versatility to PBKS' bowling attack.
