Punjab Kings (PBKS) have been one of the least successful teams in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), with only one appearance in the final, which came in 2014. Following this, the PBKS have not been able to reach the playoff stage of the IPL in the last nine seasons, which coincided with frequent changes in their playing squad and team management.
Despite only two playoff appearances in the first 16 seasons of the IPL, Punjab Kings have had a fair share of top Indian and overseas cricketers donning their jerseys. In this article, SportsTiger looks at the all-time Playing XI of PBKS.
