IPL Auction 2025 Players List PBKS: Having led KKR to the title last season, Shreyas Iyer joined Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore in the ongoing IPL Auction 2025 in Jeddah on Sunday. The bidding war was intense, starting with KKR placing the first bid of Rs 2 crore, followed by PBKS entering at Rs 2.20 crore. After KKR dropped out, Delhi Capitals (DC) made a move, raising the price to Rs 25 crore. The bidding continued between PBKS and DC, with Punjab Kings eventually emerging victorious.
In addition to Iyer, PBKS also secured Yuzvendra Chahal for Rs 18 crore, Marcus Stoinis for Rs 11 crore, and Glenn Maxwell for Rs 4.2 crore. Meanwhile, the franchise retained pacer Arshdeep Singh for Rs 18 crore.
After joining PBKS, Chahal said, “I was quite nervous and anxious because this amount is what I got in the last three seasons combined. I think I deserve this price, and I am very excited.”
“I’m excited as my bond with Shreyas Iyer and Arshdeep Singh is strong, and I will also get to learn a lot from Ricky Ponting sir. At least I’m closer to home now. It was Jaipur initially, and now it will be Chandigarh” he added.
Chahal left RCB in 2021 and remains their leading wicket-taker with 139 scalps. He is also the highest wicket-taker in IPL history, with 205 wickets from 160 matches at an average of 22.44, including a best of 5/44. In his debut season with RR in 2022, he won the Purple Cap, taking 27 wickets in 17 matches at an average of 19.51, with a best performance of 5/40.
