The Shikhar Dhawan-led Punjab Kings on Saturday, March 16 unveiled their jersey for the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Preity Zinta co-owned franchise revealed the much-awaited PBKS matchday jersey at the Elante Mall in Chandigarh.
During the jersey launch event, the PBKS co-owner along with skipper Dhawan unveiled the new colours of the Punjab-based franchise. During the ceremony, Zinta also revealed a shocking reason on why the side did not incorporate white, grey and silver in their jersey. She revealed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has prohibited the use of white, grey or silver colours in IPL jerseys, citing the use of white cricket balls in the tournament.

The new jersey has been designed with anti-sweat, anti-odour, anti-bacterial technologies and is also UV resistant. “We are delighted to launch our new jersey in front of our loyal fans, who are the backbone of the team.
