The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is already creating excitement, with the mega auction taking place in Jeddah on November 24 and 25.
A total of 577 players are up for grabs, and the Punjab Kings (PBKS) have made some significant moves to bolster their squad. On the first day of the auction, PBKS made a splash by signing 10 players, showcasing a mix of experienced stars and promising talents.
The standout acquisition for the Punjab Kings was former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain, Shreyas Iyer, who is expected to bring both leadership and batting firepower to the team.
Additionally, PBKS strengthened its bowling arsenal by securing the seasoned leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, a move likely to enhance their spin attack.
Another key moment was when the franchise exercised the Right-to-Match (RTM) option to retain pacer Arshdeep Singh, ensuring the continuity of their pace department.
These strategic signings underscore PBKS's intent to field a well-balanced team in IPL 2025, aiming for a combination of experienced campaigners and emerging talent.
