PBKS Full Squad, IPL 2025: Punjab Kings entered the IPL 2025 mega auction with by far the highest budget of Rs 110.5 crore, and went to business immediately. PBKS spent a fortune of Rs 18 crore each on Indian bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal, but undoubtedly their headline signing was that of Indian batter Shreyas Iyer for Rs 26.75 cr, making him the second-most expensive player in IPL history. PBKS also packed their squad with a number of Indian and overseas all-rounders, getting the likes of Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Nehal Wadhera and Harpreet Brar. (Full Squad)
