Shikhar Dhawan, the skipper of the PBKS in the IPL 2023, was also the highest run-scorer for his side, scoring 373 runs from 11 innings at an average of 41.44 with a strike rate of 142.91.

Jonny Bairstow missed out on playing the 2023 IPL season, but he has a big reputation as an aggressive opener in both International cricket and the T20 league circuit. His partnership with David Warner for the franchise in the IPL has been a most memorable one for all the cricket fans around the globe.
