Australian fast-bowler Nathan Ellis has made his presence felt in India as he gears up to represent the Punjab Kings in the forthcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Ellis, known for his lethal bowling skills, was warmly welcomed by the Punjab-based franchise as he arrived at the team hotel, marking the beginning of his IPL 2024 journey with the Kings.
The Punjab Kings have already commenced their pre-season preparations at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Mohali, which will also serve as their home ground for this season’s IPL. Led by skipper Shikhar Dhawan, the squad have been diligently training at the facility, with additional players expected to join them in the coming days to bolster the team’s camaraderie and form.
In a delightful display of cultural assimilation, Ellis showcased his fondness for Punjabi traditions by engaging in some spirited Bhangra moves, much to the delight of fans. The Aussie speedster, who made waves with a memorable hat-trick on his international debut against Bangladesh in 2021, is no stranger to the IPL circuit, having previously donned the Punjab Kings jersey midway through the 2021 season.
Ellis’s impressive track record in the IPL, coupled with his recent exploits on the international stage, underscores his significance to the Punjab Kings’ campaign this season. Retained by the franchise for his consistent performances, Ellis remains a key asset in their quest for IPL glory.
