Chahal has been a consistent performer in the cash-rich league. He bagged 18 wickets last season before having picked up 21 and 27 wickets in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The leg-spinner will hold key to Punjab's chances of winning their maiden trophy.

#1 Arshdeep Singh

Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh will lead the pace attack for PBKS this season. He has been consistent for them over the last two seasons with 19 wickets and 17 wickets in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

His recent form in white-ball cricket has been exceptional. Arshdeep was the leading wicket-taker in the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy with 20 scalps from seven games at an average of 18.25 and an economy rate of 5.62.

He also performed well in the limited opportunities that he got during India's home T20I and ODI series against England. Arshdeep was a part of India's 2025 Champions Trophy squad but did not play a single game. However, PBKS will expect him to continue his fine form with the ball.
