Punjab Kings are gearing up for an exciting match against the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at their new home ground, the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur here on Saturday.

Last season might not have gone as planned for Punjab Kings due to injuries, but they are optimistic about the upcoming season.

The additions to their squad, including Chris Woakes, Rilee Rossouw, Tanay Thyagarajann, and Shashank Singh, along with the return of Jonny Bairstow, are expected to bolster their team significantly.

With Shikhar Dhawan leading the team both with the bat and as captain, Punjab Kings are aiming for a strong performance this season.

However, they are aware of the challenge posed by the Delhi Capitals, who have strengthened their squad with the return of Rishabh Pant and some key signings.

The head-to-head record between the two teams reflects a balanced competition, with both sides having won 16 games each out of 32 encounters.

Despite the tough competition, Punjab Kings are determined to start their campaign on a winning note and make their mark in this season of the IPL.

With a strong squad and a focused mindset, they are aiming for success in the tournament.
