Why the Early Exit?
Curran and Bairstow need to join the England squad to prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Unlike other English players, these two stuck around a bit longer to support the Kings. But now, it’s time for them to head home.
Who Wears the Captain’s Hat Now?
With Curran’s departure, Punjab Kings have a big question mark on their leadership. Regular skipper Shikhar Dhawan is still recovering from injury. So, who will take the reins for their last match?
Young Guns Up for the Challenge?
Jitesh Sharma and Shaan Singh, two promising youngsters, could be in the running for captaincy. Jitesh, being the wicket-keeper, has a slight edge. However, Shaan Singh has impressed everyone with his batting this season and might be ready to handle the captaincy pressure.
