Punjab Kings head into the IPL 2022 mega auction with the biggest available purse. The franchise retained Mayank Agarwal (Rs 12 crore) and Arshdeep Singh (Rs 4 crore) and have 72 crores remaining in the balance in which to shop players. Punjab Kings and mega auctions have not been the best of friends in the past.

This is reportedly the last mega auction, thus the franchise needs to be sensible about buying players at the mega auction. They also need a skipper to lead the aide in the upcoming seasons. Finding a seasoned IPL captain might be a task for the franchise. Here is a probable list of players that Punjab Kings might fancy buying at the IPL 2022 mega auction.

Mayank Agarwal will open the innings and Shikhar Dhawan might be the best fit as his partner given that he is an Indian player and a teammate of Mayank in the Indian dressing room. Dhawan’s experience will be invaluable for the franchise who are still looking for their first IPL title. Alex Hales and Glenn Phillips are overseas T20 freelancers and can fit the bill as well. Dhawan gives the franchise a potential captaincy candidate as well.
