The Punjab Kings roped in England leg-spinner Adil Rashid as replacement for pace bowler Jhye Richardson for the IPL 2021 Phase 2 keeping in mind the conditions in UAE. Rashid has picked up a total of 232 wickets in 201 T20 matches at an economy of 7.43 and moreover, he has been a consistent performer for England with the ball in limited-overs cricket. Thus, the leggie is very much likely to walk straight into the Punjab Kings playing 11 and make his IPL debut in the today match against RR.
