The PKBS team, also known as the Punjab Kings, has been a part of the IPL since its inception in 2008. The team has had a mixed record in the tournament, with their best performance being in the 2014 season when they finished as runners-up. The team is known for its explosive batting lineup, with players like KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, and Nicholas Pooran capable of turning any match on its head.
On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians (MI) are one of the most successful teams in the IPL, having won the tournament a record five times. The team is led by Rohit Sharma, one of the most experienced players in the IPL. The Mumbai Indians are known for their strong batting and bowling units, with players like Kieron Pollard, Jasprit Bumrah, and Trent Boult in their ranks.
