IPL 2026: PBKS Will Be Bloody Hard Team To Beat If We Do Things Near Our Best, Says Ponting
Lucknow Super Giants: Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting believes his side’s current form and collective mindset make them one of the toughest teams to overcome in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, asserting that sticking close to their best standards will keep them firmly ahead of the competition.
Punjab Kings underlined that confidence with a dominant 54-run win over Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday, extending their unbeaten run in the season. In doing so, PBKS also created history by becoming the first team in IPL history to remain undefeated after their opening six matches, a milestone in the league’s 19-year history.
Asked to bat first for the first time this season, PBKS responded with 254/7, the highest total of IPL 2026, powered by a sensational 182-run stand for the second wicket between Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly. Arya led the charge with a blistering 93 off just 37 balls, smashing nine sixes, while Connolly complemented him with a fluent 87 off 46 deliveries.
