パンジャブ・キングスは、IPL 2025 保持日にシャシャンク・シンとプラブシムラン・シンのみを保持した
Punjab Kings will be desperate to target the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy in the upcoming IPL 2025 season. The coveted trophy has evaded Punjab Kings for all these years and now the team is desperate to win the title. The Punjab outfits headed into the IPL 2025 Mega Auction with the highest budget and spilled their cash in forming a strong squad.
Punjab Kings roped in last season’s IPL-winning captain Shreyas Iyer for a huge price of 26.75 crores and thus will be banking heavily on the ace batter. PBKS will also be heavily reliant on ace pacer Arshdeep to lead the attack. Down the order, Glenn Maxwell as a finisher will also be a vital asset for the side.
Shreyas Iyer
- Role: Captain and Batsman
- Acquisition: Bought for ₹26.75 crore during the mega auction.
Shreyas Iyer became the second highest-priced player in IPL history as PBKS roped him for a whopping price of 26.75 crores. And, naturally, he is expected to lead the side. Iyer is a highly seasoned batter and will lead the charge for the side with his exquisite batting.
Iyer is also a capable captain, and Kolkata Knight Rider’s title win is a testament to the same. Thus Iyer will be a key player for PBKS while he will also mentor the youngsters in the team.
Arshdeep Singh
- Role: Bowler
- Acquisition: Retained for ₹18 crore via Right to Match (RTM).
Punjab Kings didn’t retain Arshdeep Singh on IPL 2025 Retention Day. But they showcased their faith in their star player by buying him back in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. PBKS spilled 18 crores and re-bought Arshdeep Singh for a price of 18 crores.
The speedster has been a key figure for Punjab Kings over the years. His ability to pick wickets both in powerplays and death overs makes him one of the best in the business. He also showcased his class by becoming the joint-highest wicket-taker in the ICC T20 World Cup, scalping 17 wickets from just 8 games.
Glenn Maxwell
- Role: All-rounder
- Acquisition: Signed for ₹4.20 crore.
Fans were left shocked when Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) didn’t retain Glenn Maxwell on IPL 2025 Retention Day. And thus with Maxwell being available in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, PBKS didn’t waste a single moment in re-buying their former star.
Bought for a cut price of 4.20 crores, Maxwell is a brilliant acquisition for the side. Being an able all-rounder, Maxwell brings everything to the plate. However, his finishing ability steals the show. The Aussie will be a key figure in PBKS batting order for finishing innings and being an experienced campaigner he can be a good mentor to the youngsters in the team.
