Punjab Kings’s aggressive batting game
This season, Punjab Kings have taken the path of an aggressive batting, and this strategy has proved to be effective for them. His team is playing dominance in every match, and it is clearly causing their success.
Faith in Glenn Maxwell
Punjab Kings have always believed in all -rounder Glenn Maxwell, but their performance does not show continuity. However, he has been a good choice for the team in bowling too, but Maxwell is chosen due to his batting in the team. In his last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab needed runs soon when Priyesh Arya was out.

Manoj Tiwari’s response
Punjab Kings coach Ricky Ponting placed Indian batsmen like Shashank Singh and Nihal Wadhera on the back bench and sent Glenn Maxwell. This decision was not found to Manoj Tiwari, who became IPL champions with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2012. Tiwari wrote on Twitter, “According to me, Punjab will not win the IPL title this season. The coach sent Glenn Maxwell instead of Indian batsmen like Shashank Singh and Nihal Vadhera, and the expectations from Maxwell could not be fulfilled.”
Punjab Kings qualified in playoffs
Punjab seems to be a strong contender to win its first IPL trophy this season. He remains in the top four in the IPL 2025 points table. So far he has played 9 matches, out of which win 5 matches, lost 3 matches and his last match against Kolkata Knight Riders ended without results.
Punjab Kings can still finish in the top two, but for this they will have to win at least four out of the remaining 5 matches.
