IPL 2025 Punjab Kings Final New Squad and Players List
Shreyas Iyer expected to lead in our official squad and players list for Punjab Kings (PBKS) for IPL 2025.
One of the only three teams not to have an IPL trophy to their name, the Punjab Kings will once again enter the 18th year of the Indian Premier League in the hope to finally have their hands on the much-coveted trophy. The journey hasn’t been kind for Punjab Kings so far having played only one Final in their 17 IPL appearances so far. But can they finally do it this time?
Well, Punjab Kings are once again taking a fresh and revamped approach when it comes to their squad. Ideally, a team has a strong core of 5-6 players, and then builds the squad around that. However, Punjab Kings didn’t retain any capped player in their squad – the only team to do so. Having retained only two capped players, Punjab Kings added only two existing players, and then had all their players fresh ones.
The approach is once again filled with hope and optimism rather than process. But that’s how the side has been, and expecting magic to happen from 1st year will once again be illogical. Overall, Punjab Kings will be headed by Shreyas Iyer, and they have got a strong leader this time. Alongside Shreyas, there are many exciting players. So, here’s the complete list of players for Punjab Kings squad for IPL 2025.
