If you get a chance to play in the IPL, which team do you think suits your style the most and why?

I would be thankful for an opportunity with any IPL team because the competition itself is at another level. That said, my roots are strongly connected to Punjab. My parents are from there, and even though I was born in the United States, that cultural bond has always stayed with me. Because of that connection, I feel Punjab Kings would suit me well.
