PBKS vs GT team news

Punjab Kings newcomer Sam Curran is the most expensive player in IPL history, joining them in a $2.2 million deal (IND 18.5 crore).

Jonny Bairstow's recovery from a golf course injury, however, means he will miss the entire 2023 IPL. Uncapped Australian Matthew Short will come in for the England star.

Expect some big hitting from the PBKS ranks, with some power in their batting unit thanks to the likes of Liam Livingstone, Bhanuka Rajapaksha, Shahrukh Khan and Sikandar Raza.

The reigning champions have also improved their depth in the bowling department with the signing of Joshua Little, who is in the final stages of recovering from a hamstring injury.
