Kuldeep Sen, the Madhya Pradesh pacer, is back in action as he has recovered from his knee injury and is now all set to feature in Punjab Kings squad for IPL 2025. He was last seen in action playing for Madhya Pradesh against Kerela last week.
Sen, a ferocious right arm-pacer, has been dealing with constant injuries for the past 2 years. His injuries began while training for the second ODI against Bangladesh. Kuldeep hurt his back and was in recovery. He returned to action during IPL 2024 for Rajasthan Royals but in the middle of the tournament suffered a knee injury.
During the IPL 2025 mega auctions, Kudeep Sen was part of the draft with a base price of INR 20 Lakhs. Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, and Punjab Kings were part of the bidding war and in the end, Punjab Kings won the bid with a price tag of INR 80 Lakhs.
Kuldeep is known for his accuracy and pace in India’s domestic cricket. He can easily clock 145 Kmph and can generate good bounce because of his height. The Punjab Kings bowling unit will definitely get the much-needed boost from his presence in the team. On the verge of the new season, Kuldeep Singh becoming part of Punjab’s playing XI will bolster their odds on trusted IPL betting apps in India.
Can Kuldeep Singh Become an Asset for Punjab Kings?
One of the biggest questions cricket experts are asking is whether can Kuldeep Singh prove to be an asset for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025. He is an experienced IPL player as he signed Rajasthan Royals and made his debut in the league in 2022.
After 2 years with Rajasthan Royals, Kuldeep was released from the team and Punjab took the opportunity to sign the 28-year-old pacer. He has not played much cricket in the last year but Punjab Kings management will be counting on him for the upcoming season of the league.

The Punjab Kings have a dominating lineup of pace attacks. They have India’s ace T20 pacer Arshdeep Singh who will be part of playing XI. They also have Australia’s Xavier Bartlett and New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson in the team. The duo have done well in T20 international cricket in recent times and hence they will be key bowlers for Punjab Kings.
Kuldeep Sen will be the 4th key pacer for the team and his involvement with the team will strategic. He might not get as many chances to play in IPL 2025 but once he gets the bowl rolling, Kuldeep is expected to be an impact bowler for the Punjab Kings.
