Punjab Kings Star Names PBKS Starting XI for IPL 2025, X-Factor Player Included As Opener

He has placed himself at number six.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) star Shashank Singh has shared what the team’s playing XI might look like for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. PBKS will be led by Shreyas Iyer this season.

The team has a good mix of experienced and young players and will look to have a strong campaign.

Josh Inglis and Prabhsimran Singh to Open the Innings

Speaking to Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel, Shashank said that Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis is likely to open the innings with Prabhsimran Singh. Inglis is known for his aggressive batting and can give Punjab a quick start in the powerplay.

At number three, skipper Shreyas will play an important role in holding the innings together. Marcus Stoinis is set to bat at number four, followed by Glenn Maxwell at number five. Both can score quickly and bowl if needed.
