Irfan Pathan Backs Punjab Kings for IPL Glory in 2026

Irfan Pathan is throwing his weight behind the Punjab Kings for their maiden IPL title in 2026. With a solid skipper in Shreyas Iyer and an opening pair that's on fire, Pathan sees them as serious contenders. He also noted that if Cooper Connolly can start bowling again, it could complete their bowling puzzle.

Currently sitting atop the IPL table with 13 points from nine matches, the Punjab Kings have been dominant this season. Pathan highlighted their impactful cricket and balanced squad, making them a formidable force. Meanwhile, he expressed concern for the Delhi Capitals, who recently suffered a narrow loss to the Gujarat Titans, which could affect their momentum.

While Pathan acknowledged the talent in Delhi's lineup, he remains focused on Punjab's potential. With the Lucknow Super Giants struggling at the bottom, all eyes will be on Punjab as they chase their first IPL trophy. Can they maintain their form and secure the ultimate prize?
