Punjab Kings had the highest purse for IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. They were pretty decent with their signings. Here, we predict Punjab Kings’ strongest playing XI for IPL 2025.
Openers: Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis (WK)
Prabhsimran Singh was one of the retentions and he will be a permanent fixture at the top. Punjab Kings might go for the explosive Josh Inglis as the other opener.
Middle-Order: Shreyas Iyer (C) and Shashank Singh
The middle order will be one of the strengths of Punjab Kings’ strongest playing XI for IPL 2025. At No.3, Shreyas will have a crucial role to play. Shashank Singh will be the pace hitter in the second half of the batting innings for the team.
All-Rounders: Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen and Nehal Wadhera
A top group of all-rounders form the core of this side. Much could depend on how Glenn Maxwell turns up for PBKS. Stoinis will be the brute hitter for the team. Marco Jansen will take the new ball while Nehal will be the left-handed batter in the middle order.
Bowlers: Harpreet Brar, Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh
It is a strong Indian core in Punjab Kings’ strongest playing XI for IPL 2025. Chahal and Arshdeep were expensive signings and will look to do well for the team.
Impact Player: Vyshak V, Priyansh Arya and Kuldeep Sen
Punjab Kings will want one of their Indian pacers in Vyshak V or Kuldeep Sen to come good. This will help the balance of the side.
