The experienced batsman Harpreet Singh Bhatia provides depth and batting solidity to the Punjab Kings (PBKS) middle order in IPL 2024. This left-handed batsman from Chhattisgarh has carved a niche for himself in the domestic circuit. While not a flashy player, Bhatia is known for his sound technique and ability to build an innings.

Despite a promising start to his career with the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2010, Bhatia hasn't been a regular feature in the IPL. He's had stints with various franchises like the Pune Warriors and the Royal Challengers Bangalore, but opportunities have been limited.

However, the Punjab Kings recognized his experience and value as a middle-order batsman. They secured his services at a reasonable price of ₹1.5 Crore at the 2024 IPL auction.

Bhatia might not be the biggest name in the Punjab Kings lineup, but his experience and composure can be crucial in building partnerships and anchoring the innings in crucial situations. He can also contribute with his handy right-arm medium pace bowling if needed.

With players like Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone at the top of the order, Harpreet Singh Bhatia's role in IPL 2024 will be to provide stability and guide the innings in the middle overs. He'll be looking to contribute with valuable runs and help the Punjab Kings post competitive totals.
