NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings are still in pursuit of their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title. Since the tournament's inception in 2008, they have reached the final only once— in 2014—where they fell short against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Their only other notable campaign came in the inaugural edition (2008) when they made it to the semifinals. Barring these two instances, Punjab Kings have never reached the playoffs.
As IPL 2025 approaches, Punjab Kings will feature several new faces, including captain Shreyas Iyer and head coach Ricky Ponting, who is known for his aggressive style of cricket. The team has also added three dynamic Australian players—Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis. Meanwhile, they retained players Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh who will provide stability to the batting lineup. The bowling unit will be strengthened by the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson, Harpreet Brar, and Yash Thakur.
