PBKS stands for Punjab Kings, which is a professional cricket franchise based in Mohali, Punjab, India. The team was formerly known as Kings XI Punjab and was renamed Punjab Kings ahead of the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The team was founded in 2008 and is owned by a consortium led by Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, along with Ness Wadia, Mohit Burman, and Karan Paul. The Punjab Kings play their home matches at the PCA Stadium in Mohali and are captained by Indian wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul.
The team has yet to win an IPL championship but has reached the finals once, in 2014. The Punjab Kings have undergone several changes in coaching staff over the years, with the current head coach being former Australian cricketer Damien Wright.
Some of the star players of the Punjab Kings include KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran, and Mohammed Shami. The team has a strong fan following, especially in Punjab, and its matches are known for being high-scoring and entertaining.
