Punjab Kings performance in IPL 2025 was something different. With Australian legend Ricky Ponting joined as a head coach and Shreyas Iyer who was bought for whooping Rs. 26.75 Cr, leading as a captain. After 11 years, they finished the league stage and topped the points table and also played in the final. The team was so close to winning its first trophy but lost the game by just 6 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the end.

PBKS released just five players including Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, Kuldeep Sen and Pravin Dubey. Unlike the previous season’s auction, they don’t need to spend much on the table this time. Ricky Ponting, Shreyas Iyer and co. just need to fill some backup spots. But an injury concern may be a major threat for the team.
