IPL 2025: 3 things Punjab Kings will look to improve from last year

The Punjab Kings faced a mixed bag of results during IPL 2024. They had a great start to the league but failed to capitalize on their winning run and were not up to the expectations during last year’s edition.

The side finished the season on a disappointing note in IPL 2024, placing at the ninth spot out of 10. As of the IPL 2025, they must aim to improve in some areas as compared to last year’s edition to boost their campaign in the forthcoming edition of the cash-rich league. In the same vein, here are the three areas of improvement Punjab Kings need to work on.

Consistency in leadership

In IPL 2024, Shikhar Dhawan was ruled out due to grave injuries for over half of the season. This led to Sam Curran leading the side in the absence of the Indian batter. However, the side has struggled a lot to find stability and consistency under England’s all-rounder leadership.

The side needs extremely strong leadership this time to make sure their side gives convincing performances this time. The leadership will allow them to maintain the momentum throughout the season.

Need to bolster the middle order of the game

In the IPL 2024, the side has failed to showcase their strength during the middle orders of the game despite having players like Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, and Sikandar Raza.

In IPL 2025, they need quality batters who could boost their batting unit to boost the middle order and lower order of the game. Their batting strength can pose a big threat to the opponent’s bowling attack.

Need consistency in power plays

Punjab Kings was the only team that had the lowest run rates in the power play compared to the other nine teams, which had put them on the back foot early in the game. In addition, it was seen that Punjab Kings lost many wickets in the powerplays themselves, which weakened their batting unit, and the side failed to build strong momentum later in the game.

However, the side now needs a strong opening foundation to give a great start to the game. They are in need of attacking top-order batters in the IPL 2025 who can make the most use of the power plays.
