Punjab Kings IPL 2025 Squad: Full List Of Players And Auction Strategy Under Ricky Ponting
PBKS IPL 2025 Full Squad: The Punjab Kings (PBKS) are gearing up for the 2025 IPL season with Ricky Ponting as their new head coach, hoping to make a significant impact.
After a lacklustre performance in 2024, where they missed the playoffs, PBKS decided on a major squad revamp. They retained only two players, giving them the largest auction budget among all teams.

The Punjab Kings have faced challenges since the IPL began in 2008. Despite having strong teams at times, they have not yet won the title. Their best result was in 2014 when they reached the final but lost to Kolkata Knight Riders. Inconsistencies in player retention and leadership have been obstacles. With Ponting's leadership, they aim to change their fortunes in 2025.
Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh are the only players retained by PBKS. This minimal retention leaves them with the smallest squad going into the auction.
Shashank Singh (Batter) - Rs 5.5 crore
Prabhsimran Singh (Batter) - Rs 4 crore
With just ₹9.5 crore spent on retentions, PBKS has ₹110.5 crore available for the mega auction. They also hold four RTM cards for use during bidding.
The team is expected to create intense bidding wars due to their substantial budget.
