Punjab Kings Star On The Cusp Of Rare T20 Record After Brilliant Run of Form, Makes Strong Case for IPL 2026 Retention

Sreejita Sen

He might achieve the record in the upcoming match against the Texas Super Kings.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Mitchell Owen has been enjoying a brilliant form in the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025. His consistent all-round performance for Washington Freedom may propel PBKS management to retain him ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction. He is currently the second-highest wicket-taker (14) and fourth-highest run-scorer (288) in the MLC 2025.

Mitchell Owen Eyes to Equal Shakib Al Hasan’s T20 Record

The Washington Freedom player has been adjudged the Player of the Match award in the last four MLC 2025 matches. His purple patch started with a blazing 60-run knock off just 26 balls and an economical spell with a wicket (29/4) against the MI New York. He followed it up with a stunning 52-ball-89 and a three-wicket haul (33/3) against the Texas Super Kings (TSK).

Against the Los Angeles Knight Riders, he scored 43 runs off 16 deliveries while opening the innings with Rachin Ravindra. In their latest fixture against the MLC 2024 runners-up, San Francisco Unicorns, Owen ran through the batting lineup to claim a fifer in just three overs.

ALSO READ:

If the Australian all-rounder manages to earn another POTM award in their upcoming match against TSK, he will equal veteran Bangladesh all-rounder, Shakib Al Hasan. Previously, Shakib scalped his 400th T20 wicket in a league match against Minister Dhaka in January 2022. With this performance, he achieved five successive POTM awards in T20s, which is the most consecutive by a player so far.

IPL 2026 Retention Chances of Punjab Kings All-rounder Owen

The Punjab outfit had an excellent season in the IPL 2025. Shreyas Iyer and Co. topped the charts in the league stage with nine victories in 14 matches. But they stumbled in the ultimate clash against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and missed out on ending their 17-year-long title drought.

PBKS had included Owen in their squad as a replacement for his fellow national teammate Glenn Maxwell. Though he played just one match for the franchise this season, the management may look to retain him ahead of the IPL 2026, based on his recent fierce form.

PBKS might also consider replacing Maxwell with Owen in their playing XI next season, after the continued dismal form of the Aussie batter. Though Maxwell is in blazing form currently while leading the defending champions, Washington Freedom, the 36-year-old managed to put up only 48 runs in seven matches of the IPL 2025, before being ruled out of the tournament with a finger injury.
