Punjab Kings (PBKS) have finalized their IPL 2025 squad. They made bold moves under new head coach Ricky Ponting. PBKS is known for its inconsistent, ever-changing past seasons. This year, it is determined to rewrite its story. The franchise had the largest purse—₹110.5 crores—at the IPL mega auction. They kept only two uncapped players. They came away with a strong, balanced team.
Punjab Kings have made their intentions clear for the upcoming season. Shreyas Iyer is their costliest signing at ₹26.75 crores. The franchise last made the playoffs in 2014. They hope to end their underperformance with a new roster and strategy.
