Several players of Punjab Kings are using Erling Haaland-backed Normatec to help them with their recovery after the match, revealed the team’s strength and conditioning duo Andrew Leipus and Adrian le Roux. The former Kolkata Knight Riders’ support staff revealed a unique connection between the IPL and the Premier League in their recent interview.
Punjab Kings are currently sitting in the fourth position in the Indian Premier League’s points table. Punjab have won 3 out of their first four games in the ongoing edition and have looked an incredible side for better part on-field.

Andrew Leipus and Adrian le Roux, sports physiotherapist and the strength and conditioning coach for the PBKS side, said that recovery training varied from player to player, but someone like Shreyas Iyer took his post-match recovery very seriously.
“We can’t force players to do anything that they don’t feel is relevant to them,” Leipus says. “A lot of them do ice baths in the dressing room post-matches. When they come back to the hotel, if they have got any niggles, we do something called an icing-compression treatment. We had a couple of players on the normatec,” Leipus told the New Indian Express in an interview.
“Shreyas was out there for 20 overs (during his innings of 97 vs Gujarat Titans) before he fielded,” the Australian says. “It’s a reflection of how he looks after himself, he hydrates, he does normatec, his physical prep is really good and is committed to nutrition… you don’t have to push him. Some of the younger guys need help in this department,” he added.
Punjab are currently placed fourth in the Indian Premier League table. The side has tried to play a fresh brand of cricket under the tutelage of Ricky Ponting.
