The Punjab Kings executed one of their most successful IPL auction strategies in recent years, leveraging the largest available budget to secure key players. Their primary acquisitions included Shreyas Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Arshdeep Singh, significantly bolstering their core squad.
They made an early impact in IPL 2025 auction by securing Shreyas with a record-breaking bid of Rs 26.75 crore. The franchise brought back Arshdeep Singh for Rs 18 crore via RTM and later matched that amount to bring in seasoned spinner Chahal.
