IPL 2025 Auction: Aim Is To Make Punjab Kings One Of The Powerhouses, Says Head Coach Ricky Ponting
Indian Premier League: Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction, Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting said he aims to make the franchise one of the powerhouses in the 10-team tournament. Punjab Kings have retained the uncapped duo of wicketkeeper-opener Prabhsimran Singh and middle-order batter Shashank Singh. They enter the auction with a purse of INR 110.5 crore, which is the biggest amongst all ten IPL teams.
“I've been lucky to be around a few pretty successful teams. So MI for a few years and then DC, where we had a good run of making the playoffs there. And I liked the look of a few of the younger players in the Punjab Kings lineup.”
“So that was the main attraction really but mainly, it was, to be able to start from scratch pretty much. The aim is to make the franchise one of the powerhouses of the IPL and to make it a really dynamic, fun-loving environment that everyone wants to be a part of,” said Ponting, a two-time ODI World Cup winning captain, to broadcasters Star Sports.
