Top pacer ranking and rating of Punjab Kings Team in IPL 2023

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India, featuring eight franchise teams representing different cities and owned by various stakeholders, that runs annually from March to May.

Pacers play an important role in every cricket match since their fast bowling assists the team to take wickets from the other team provided the pacer is focused and experienced.

These are the Top Solid Pacers of PBKS IPL 2023: Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh & Sam Curran. 

Kagiso Rabada - Kagiso Rabada's stock in international cricket has risen rapidly since making an impact in the Under-19 Tournament a few years ago, to the point where he is now a captain of his national team's bowling attack. The speedster has 76 wickets from 50 IPL matches and was instrumental in Delhi Capitals outstanding performance in IPL 2019 and IPL 2020. He will now wear the PBKS colors, and with his pedigree, PBKS will be a contender to contend in the TATA IPL 2022.

Arshdeep Singh - The teenager appeared in three games for PBKS in the 2018 - 19 season and was kept by the team prior to the 2020 IPL auction. Arshdeep continued his ascent a year later and went on to experience a strong run of form, pushing his IPL wicket total to 30 from 23 matches, prompting PBKS to keep him ahead of the TATA IPL 2022 sale. The tall pacer is known for using his 6'3" size to his advantage, and PBKS will be expecting that he has a successful IPL season.

Sam Curran - Sam Curran (born 3 June 1998) is an International cricketer, plays for England in all Forms. In domestic cricket, he represents Surrey(south east,england), and has played in various T20 leagues, including for PBKS and CSK in the IPL. On 23 December 2022, he was the contender for the highest bid in the history of IPL, when he was bought for Rs. 18.5 crore by Punjab Kings.

Primary Backup Pacers of Punjab kings

• Nathan Ellis :- A right-arm bowler from Australia replaced fellow countryman Riley Meredith in the Punjab kings  roster for the balance of the IPL 2021 season, appearing in three matches for the club. PBKS has hired him again, this time for INR 75 Lakh. Ellis, who rose to prominence after scoring a hat-trick on his international career versus Bangladesh in August 2021, will be eager to make an impact with the ball for Punjab kings.
•  Rishi Dhawan - Rishi Dhawan has fought valiantly and led the charge for Himachal Pradesh. Earlier this year, the all-rounder was his league's primary run-getter and wicket-taker in their victorious Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign, and he had a strong Syed Mushtaq Ali Cup season with the ball. Rishi Dhawan, a seasoned campaigner, will be out to set things on fire for Punjab kings in the TATA IPL 2022.
• Raj Bawa - Raj Angad Bawa, who contributed with bat and ball in India's U19 World Cup-winning squad, will be eager to make an impression in his first IPL season after being purchased by PBKS for INR 2 crore. The right-arm medium bowler had lit up the U19 World Cup Final with a five-wicket haul and before that, he had produced a magnificent tonne. PBKS will be hoping that this youngster shines brightly in the forthcoming TATA IPL 2022.
