    IPL 2026: Connolly A Good All-rounder In The Making, Got Good Head On Shoulders, Says Bahutule

    Cooper Connolly: Batting all-rounder Cooper Connolly has drawn high praise from Punjab Kings spin‑bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule, who described him as ‘a very good allrounder in the making’ and someone who has the right temperament to succeed at the highest level.

    Connolly, 22, has been the side’s most consistent batter this season, much like how his idol Shaun Marsh was for the side in IPL 2008. His unbeaten 107 off 59 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday night underlined his growing stature in the tournament despite PBKS falling short by 33 runs and getting their third straight loss of the season.

    Connolly, who bowls left‑arm spin, has not been used with the ball in IPL 2026 owing to Cricket Australia (CA) saying that he’s managing a back issue.
