Punjab Kings Have Brought Some Of The Best Young Indian Talent, Says Ricky Ponting
Indian Premier League: The IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah saw plenty of uncapped Indian players who earned good deals after being star performers in their respective state-based T20 leagues. Punjab Kings was amongst those sides who heavily invested in some of them – like opener Priyansh Arya, who was bought for INR 3.8 crore, shone bright in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) by amassing 608 runs in 10 innings with a whopping strike rate of 198.69 and made headlines for hitting six sixes in an over en route to making a blazing century.
The side also roped in promising players like Harnoor Pannu, who was a member of India's team winning the U19 World Cup in 2022 and amassed 578 runs in 12 matches, including hitting 33 sixes in the Sher-e-Punjab T20 tournament. Others like Musheer Khan, who made big runs this year at the U19 World Cup, Ranji Trophy, and Duleep Trophy, Suryansh Shedge, Pyla Avinash, and Pravin Dubey are other youngsters who were picked by Punjab, after catching the eye of their scouts.
"We have brought some of the best young Indian talent into our group, which is very exciting. So, our scouts have done a great job and worked really hard and well to make sure that the auctions go exactly how we wanted them to," said head coach Ricky Ponting.
