Punjab Kings (PBKS) pacer Arshdeep Singh recently shared the team’s clear and ambitious goal for the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, expressing gratitude to their loyal fanbase and a strong desire to claim the coveted IPL title. In a statement that reflects both pride and determination, Arshdeep said, “We appreciate all the fans who have supported us for 17 years… Our goal is to play just 16 matches, win the title, and celebrate with them in Chandigarh with an open-bus parade.”
Punjab Kings have always had a passionate and dedicated fan following, especially in their home city of Chandigarh, where the team’s fanbase is incredibly strong. Over the years, PBKS has struggled to clinch the IPL title, but the 2025 season seems to be one that Arshdeep and the team are treating with renewed vigour and focus. With a lineup of talented players, including international stars and Indian prospects, Punjab Kings are hoping to turn their IPL fortunes around.
Arshdeep Singh’s statement not only reflects the team’s ambition but also highlights the close bond between the franchise and its supporters. The idea of an open-bus parade in Chandigarh to celebrate a potential title victory underscores the significance of this goal. The image of a jubilant team parading through the streets, surrounded by throngs of fans, is a vision that the team is determined to make a reality.
For Arshdeep, whose consistent performances with the ball have made him a standout player for PBKS, the 2025 season represents an opportunity to lead his team to glory. Known for his precision and ability to bowl under pressure, Arshdeep’s skills in the death overs have earned him significant recognition. His leadership, especially in crucial moments, will be key to PBKS’s success in the upcoming season.
Punjab Kings have had their ups and downs in the IPL over the years, with multiple near-misses and playoff appearances. Despite this, the franchise has never quite managed to lift the trophy. The franchise’s 17-year journey has been marked by moments of brilliance, but the elusive IPL title has remained just out of reach.
