3 PBKS Stars Facing the Bench in IPL 2026

The IPL is a cutthroat league, and as teams gear up for IPL 2026, some players are sweating bullets. PBKS, with its mix of talent and inconsistency, might just have a few names on the bench next season. Here’s the lowdown on three players who could find themselves sidelined.

First up is the ever-volatile opener whose form has been as erratic as a pie chucker’s delivery. Despite flashes of brilliance, consistency has eluded him, making him a prime candidate for the bench if he doesn’t step up his game. The management might prefer a more reliable option at the top.

Next, we have the all-rounder who’s been more of a passenger than a contributor lately. With the squad brimming with young talent, his spot could easily be taken by a fresh face looking to make a mark. He needs to rediscover his mojo, or he might just be watching from the sidelines.

Finally, let’s not forget the seasoned bowler whose pace has slowed down considerably. While experience is valuable, if he can’t deliver the jaffas, he might find himself replaced by a younger, hungrier player. The upcoming season will be crucial for him to prove he’s still got it.

With PBKS looking to shake things up, these players need to bring their A-game or risk being benched come IPL 2026. Let’s see who rises to the occasion!
