3 Players PBKS could’ve Picked instead of Sam Curran

PBKS has selected various players in theri IPL team of 2023 tournament. As they have dissatisfied their fans last year, they have eliminated most of their players, and bought new players & a new coaching workforce. 

PBKS added Sam Curran in the team and made him the overpriced player by paying INR 18.50 Crores to avail his services in the team. There were other deserving options in place of this all-rounder, Sam Curran, who would have added better value to the team than him.

3 players PBKS Could’ve Picked in the place of Curran

PBKS already has superb bowlers(like- Arshdeep Singh & Kagiso Rabada) and batsmen(like- Liam Livingstone & Jonny Bairstow) in the team and selecting Sam Curran for such a huge amount is a little confusing for many people.

There were some other areas the team could have enhanced in this upcoming season for IPL. These other fitting players in place of Curran are:

Reason why Adam Zampa is choice in place of Curran

• Adam Zampa was bought by Rajasthan Royals this year at a cost of INR 1.5 Crores in the IPL auction. There is only one chief spinner in the team of PBKS, whereas to play well in the match an IPL team should have at least two spinners in the team.
• Zampa is well-experienced and would have contributed well in the PBKS team if selected this year in place of Sam Curran. He could have played ahead to Chahar as the leading spinner.
• He has been a celebrated player for both franchise cricket and international cricket in T20 format. In the BBL league, he has taken 13 wickets in 13 matches with an economy rate of 7.21, together with leading his team.
• He has an unbeatable capability of selecting the right variation for the opposite player and has amazing wicket-taking ability. He could have been a better choice in place of Sam Curran this year in the PBKS team of IPL 2023 tournament. 

Mayank Aggarwal Might picked by Punjab Kings

• Having a minimum of seven Indian players is a must in the line-up in order to win the match. PBKS team has Indian players Shikhar Dhawan, Arshdeep Singh & Rahul Chahar in their team.
• Mayank Aggarwak, the Ex-Captain of PBKS team , could have been an astonishing choice as he would have provided the required experience in the line-up. He had been an appropriate player for the PBKS team last season. 
• Aggarwal is an amazing spinner and a fast bowler, and if selected, would have contributed to a well-extent in the team. 
• He could have been chosen at the half price the team has paid for Sam Curran. Now, Aggarwal will serve the IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad this season.

Ben Stokes must be first choice in the place of Curran

• Ben Stokes is a better all-rounder in comparison with Sam Curran in terms of experience and performance. 
• A decent middle-order batsman and is capable of taking wickets by bowling in tight lines and lengths at pace. An incredible fielder having unbeatable skills.
• He has won 2 White-Ball world cups for his nation and plays exceptionally well when his team is under pressure.
• Stokes has played for Rising Pune Supergiants & Rajasthan Royals, and he has the capability to grab the matches from his Opposite teams hands.
