They Have A Dangerous Player Who Hasn’t Seen The Field Yet:-
This player is none other than Zimbabwean star all-rounder Sikandar Raza. Raza recently grabbed a hat-trick in a T20 International and boasts a stellar T20 record.

But he hasn’t played a single match so far!
Why is That?
- Four Foreigner Rule: Punjab already has established stars like Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, and Kagiso Rabada in their playing XI.
- Bairstow’s Form: Apart from the last match, Bairstow hasn’t been in the best touch.
- Raza’s Versatility: Raza can be an opener, middle-order batsman, finisher, and a handy spin bowler!
But Punjab desperately needs a win against Gujarat. Will Dhawan give Raza a chance?
Here’s A Look At Raza’s Stats:–
- 139 runs and 3 wickets in 7 matches last IPL season.
- 1854 runs and 58 wickets in 81 T20 Internationals.
- 4625 runs and 133 wickets in 225 T20 matches overall.
