[In Pictures] Punjab Kings players enjoy movie night

Punjab Kings (PBKS) team members were spotted bonding over a movie on Thursday. The franchise shared pictures of players participating in a movie screening on its official Instagram account. A new captain will lead PBKS during the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL). Opener Mayank Agarwal was tapped as skipper recently. A herculean task awaits the 31-year-old, as PBKS has not experienced playoff success since they finished runner-up in the 2014 edition.

On Thursday, though, the franchise allowed the players to enjoy themselves with some movie entertainment. PBKS shared pictures of the cricketers watching a film on their Instagram handle with the caption: “Movie night, done right! #SherSquad, can you guess the movie they’re watching? #SaddaPunjab #PunjabKings #TATAIPL2022.”

Earlier in the day, the franchise unveiled their new jersey for the IPL 2022 season. The jersey has a combination of red and gold and a blended lion pattern in the middle. Only minor modifications have been made to the earlier PBKS kit. The franchise revealed the jersey through a crisp video posted on their official social media handles. The clip was shared with a caption in Punjabi, which read:“Aa gaye ne assi, reveal karan layi saddi navi jersey! (We have arrived to reveal our new jersey!)”

Franchise changed their name from Kings XI Punjab to Punjab Kings last season. However, the rebranding failed to boost their chances of qualifying for the playoffs. With KL Rahul having left Punjab to lead the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the franchise will have a new opening combination in skipper Agarwal and senior batter Shikhar Dhawan. PBKS will kick off their IPL 2022 campaign by taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on March 27.
