PBKS IPL 2025 Full Squad: The Punjab Kings (PBKS) enter the 2025 IPL season under the stewardship of new head coach Ricky Ponting, aiming for a fresh start.

Punjab Kings have made the first buy of the IPL 2025 mega auction with the acquisition of Arshdeep Singh for Rs 18 crore. After SRH's Rs 15.75 crore bid was the highest, PBKS matched the bid and then matched the raised bid from Punjab Kings to get Arshdeep Singh through the RTM.

Punjab Kings have had a tumultuous IPL journey since the league's inception in 2008. Despite having some strong squads, they have yet to win the tournament. Their best performance came in 2014 when they reached the final, only to lose to Kolkata Knight Riders. Over the years, inconsistency in player retention and leadership has hampered their success. Heading into 2025, the team is determined to turn things around under Ponting's guidance.
