Punjab Kings has always boasted of some of the biggest hitters in the cricket world which included names like Virender Sehwag, Adam Gilchrist, Shaun Marsh, and David Miller. Even with such match-winners, they were never able to win something tangible during their franchise history due to their propensity to capitulate on big occasions. Let us look at PBKS lowest scores in IPL history.
