In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Punjab Kings (PBKS) had an incredible season last year. They lost a thrilling final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad by just six runs, though, and were unable to win their first championship.
Shreyas Iyer, who led Punjab admirably the previous season, hopes to lead his club to victory in the 2026 Indian Premier League. The Punjab Kings revealed their new uniform, which substitutes blue for gold, with little over two weeks till the start of the new season.
PBKS has long been connected to the color red. The addition of blue has given it a refined appearance, even if they have kept the red in their new threads. The team shared a picture of Shreyas wearing the shirt on social media. They later shared images of people wearing the shirt, including Prabhsimran Singh, Shashank Singh, and Harpreet Brar.
Take a look at the jersey below:
