The Punjab Kings franchise had started the IPL journey on a positive note by winning its inaugural match. In the first match, Punjab had chased the massive target of 205. As a piece of good news for the team and its fans, a key player had joined the squad.
While the Punjab team is gearing up for its second match where it locks horns with the KKR, wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow, who is known for his pinch-hitting, has joined the team. The England player's arrival will make the team only stronger.
If Bairstow makes himself available for the team in the upcoming match which will be played on Friday, then the batting lineup gets a big boost. However, there are only half-chances for this, given the bio bubble rules. If he has to follow quarantine then he might miss the upcoming match.
Bairstow had to miss the first match of the Punjab team as he was representing England in the Test series against West Indies. As the series came to an end, Bairstow joined the Punjab camp.
Earlier, he used to play for the Hyderabad team. However, he was not retained by the team and he was released ahead of the Mega auction. In the auction, the Punjab team bought him for a big amount.
