The Indore-born batting allrounder is an experienced contender who made his Ranji Trophy debut in the 2007-08 season. Jalaj won the Lala Amarnath award for the best allrounder in the 2014-15 season after scoring 768 runs and scalping 20 wickets in the season. He was acquired by the Punjab Kings in the 2021 IPL auction for INR 30 lakh. Jalaj can truly contribute with the bat with a wealth of domestic experience and his right-arm off breaks will certainly encourage his participation in the PBKS playing XI.
