The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction took place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, where all 10 teams came together to select new players for their squads. This exciting event saw franchises competing to build the strongest teams for the upcoming season.
Punjab Kings, with the highest remaining purse among all teams, made some smart and bold moves to completely transform their lineup. Their biggest and most impressive signing was Shreyas Iyer, who was secured for a massive ₹26.75 crore. Shreyas, known for his powerful batting and consistency, brings a new level of excitement and strength to the Punjab Kings squad, especially after leaving KKR.
The team also made a big impact on the bowling side by signing two highly skilled bowlers, Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh, who were brought in for a combined ₹36 crore. These additions are expected to make the Punjab Kings bowling attack much stronger, with both players known for their ability to take key wickets and change the game when it matters most.
With these smart and strategic moves, Punjab Kings have raised their chances of winning the IPL title, turning themselves from a team that was often seen as an underdog to one that can now seriously compete for the trophy. Fans can expect the team to play with a new energy and confidence, making them one of the most exciting teams to watch in IPL 2025.
