2008 IPL Team analysis: Punjab Kings

 

Mohali boasts of best stadium and one of the fastest pitches in India. This franchise failed to buy its local hero, Harbhajan Singh, which will spoil its fortunes in crucial matches. Brett Lee and Irfan Pathan are crucial to the fortunes of Mohali team. Preity Zinta bagged most eye balls on the eve of Indian Premier League auction with her innocent look and good costumes. Will Mohali IPL team succeed like its owner?

 

It needs to rope in big hitters among young recruits to increase its odds to win inagural Indian Premier League ywenty20 tournament.
