Punjab Kings entered the IPL 2025 auction at a critical juncture and are armed with the league's largest purse of INR 110.5 crores and a mandate for complete reconstruction after a disappointing 2024 season.
The franchise retained just two uncapped players - Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh and is out on a comprehensive reset under new head coach Ricky Ponting.
PBKS make wholesale changes before the IPL 2025 mega auction
The 2024 season exposed multiple vulnerabilities for PBKS, including a fourth-worst powerplay batting average of 51, losing 23 wickets in the first six overs, and struggling with middle-order performances and challenges that will necessitate a multi-dimensional approach to team building, with the franchise looking to address leadership, batting depth, and bowling consistency.
Ponting's appointment brings a renewed vision, with the team targeting experienced leaders like Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant who could potentially transform the team's on-field dynamics.
Which players Punjab Kings can target?
The Punjab Kings' auction strategy appears focused on acquiring top-order reinforcements which include explosive players like Devon Conway, and strengthening the bowling attack with proven performers such as Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh.
The Right-to-Match (RTM) strategy looked particularly interesting, with the franchise likely to re-acquire key players like Arshdeep Singh who has established himself as one of India's premier T20 bowlers, and all-rounder Liam Livingstone, known for his match-winning capabilities
it's a potential turning point for a franchise that has repeatedly fallen short of its potential. Ricky Ponting's leadership and the management's approach will be critical in determining whether the 2025 Punjab Kings do or not do well in the Indian Premier League.
