IPL PBKS Team History
In 2007, the Indian Premier League (IPL) sprang into existence at the behest of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), carving out a dynamic cricketing landscape within the exhilarating Twenty20 format. The city franchises, a coveted commodity, materialized through a high-stakes auction staged in Mumbai on the decisive day of 20 February 2008.
Punjab's representative team, under the ownership consortium led by Mohit Burman of the Dabur group (46%), Ness Wadia from the Wadia group (23%), Preity Zinta (23%), and Saptarshi Dey of the Dey & Dey Group (holding a minor stake), materialized following a substantial $76 million investment. As the formidable Kings XI Punjab, the franchise laid claim to a sprawling catchment area encompassing Kashmir, Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana—discernible through the sequential alignment of letters "K J H P H" embellishing the team's emblem.
A solitary appearance in the now-defunct Champions League Twenty20 transpired in 2014, culminating with the Kings XI Punjab securing a spot as semi-finalists. Fast forward to February 2021, marking a significant juncture in the franchise's trajectory, the team underwent a nomenclatural metamorphosis, emerging as the Punjab Kings.
In the miniature auction of December 2022, the franchise etched its name in the annals of IPL history by orchestrating the highest-ever bid for a player. A staggering ₹18.50 crore (US$2.3 million) was the princely sum offered to secure the services of Sam Curran, underscoring the Punjab Kings' unwavering commitment to securing top-tier talent.
