All-Rounder Taush Kotian in Mumbai joined Punjab Kings (PBKS) as a pure pitch before their decisive IPL 2025 match against Kolkata Knight (KKR). Kotian, who did not appear at the IPL auction at the beginning of this year, was seen on Friday by Bowling for PBKS doughs, where he also joined in deep interviews with the coach of Spin-Bowling PBKS, Sunil Joshi.
The addition of Kotian to the team is considered a tactical decision, especially with regard to the challenges that PBK will face against the strong side of the KKR. With a bowling attack Kr, representing mysterious spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, the aim of Kotian’s integration is to bring a unique dimension to the nets and prepare PBKS dough for such complex opposition superiority.
Kotian, 26 years old, is a seasoned warrior on the domestic circuit, who played a key role in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph at the beginning of this season. His experience and diversity as an Orthodox off-Spinner provide PBK another possibility of spinning that will help them prepare for the threat of mysterious spiny KKR. While PBKS already has several solid spinners in its ranks, including Yuzvendra Chahal, Harpreet Brar and Pond Dubey, Kotian’s Off-Spin adds their training element of diversity and depth.
One interesting angle is the connection between Kotian and PBKS Captain Shreyas Iyer, who comes from Bombai. Iyer, who led the KRKR to the IPL title in 2024, is said to have played a role in Kotian’s integration into PBKS settings. Iyer’s knowledge of Kotian’s skills from their shared background of bombi could influence the decision to bring the versatile to the team.
Kolkata Knight Riders and Pandjab Kings are ready to face again-or more than ten days after the wild game, where PBK defended only 111. Previously, in the IPL 2024 they withdrew a record persecution of 262.
