PBKS IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Preity Zinta’s Punjab Kings have decided to rejig their team after releasing all their star power and only retaining two uncapped players, Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh, for ₹5.5 crores and ₹4 crores, respectively.
After leaving out key players like Kagiso Rabada, Shikhar Dhawan, Arshdeep Singh and Jitesh Sharma, PBKS have the highest amount of remaining purse at ₹110.5 crore along with 4 Right to Match slots, meaning they have an opportunity to rebuild a new side to finally win the coveted IPL trophy next year.
The high purse amount means that PBKS can target some of the most coveted players at this year’s auction including Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and even Shreyas Iyer. The first priority for the Kings would be to find a captain that they can build a side around, followed by some crucial big hitters and some quality pacers to replace the outgoing batch.
