Punjab Kings (PBKS) bowling unit was one of the best in the the first three Indian Premier League (IPL) editions. The presence of international bowlers such as Brett Lee, Irfan Pathan, Piyush Chawla, and S. Sreesanth made Punjab a lethal bowling attack against opponents. 

After 16 years, Punjab’s bowling attack is looking great on paper again before the tournament. Renowned names Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, and Sam Curran are associated with Kings and they will be seen in action again in the 17th IPL installment.
