PBKS Coach Ponting Delighted With Strong Squad, Says 'auction Couldn't Have Gone Much Better'
As Punjab Kings: As Punjab Kings' think tank assembled a squad built for success at the end of the IPL 2025 mega auction, head coach Ricky Ponting was delighted with the team's performance at the auction table and credited the analysts and scouts for their efforts, saying "it couldn't have gone much better".
PBKS came into the auction having retained just two players and a maximum purse of Rs 110.5 crore, aiming to build from scratch with new head coach Ponting in charge. They snapped Arshdeep Singh after deciding to exercise their Right-to-Match (RTM) card against the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s final bid of Rs 18 crore.
Kings broke the bank for the former IPL-winning captain Shreyas Iyer and bagged him for a whopping Rs 26.75 crore, the second most expensive purchase of the auction after Rishabh Pant, who was sold for a jaw-dropping price of Rs 27 crore to Lucknow Super Giants.
