The IPL 2014 runners-up Punjab Kings (PBKS) haven’t qualified for the playoffs for the last ten seasons. So, they are undoubtedly desperate to change the scenario in the next seasons. 

Unsurprisingly, PBKS retained only two uncapped players before the IPL 2025 mega auctions. While they spent only INR 9.5 crores in the retention, their remaining purse value before the auction was INR 110.50 crores. 

PBKS utilised RTM for Arshdeep Singh, while Shreyas Iyer joined the team after becoming the first to be auctioned over INR 25 crore. Yuzvendra Chahal and Marcus Stoinis were the others to manage over the INR 10 crore bid in the auction. Marco Jansen, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Azmatullah Omarzai, Lockie Ferguson, etc. are the other big names in the PBKS family.
