IPL provides a great platform for all the cricketers around the world to showcase their skills. Players get both money and fame by playing here. IPL retention has been completed and now all eyes are on the mega auction, which is going to be held on 24 and 25 November. In this auction, many franchises will form a completely new squad, and many players are expected to be bought at the highest price. Punjab Kings co-owner Kavya Maran has always included players in her team by paying a huge amount. In the last auction, she bought Pat Cummins for Rs 20.50 crore. On the other hand, Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta is also known for showering money on players. Punjab Kings bought Sam Curran for Rs 18.50 crore. Now in the mega auction too, all eyes will be on Kavya Maran and Preity Zinta and a bidding war can be seen between these two. 

Punjab Kings retained only two players.

The Punjab Kings team has not won the IPL title even once to date. The team made it to the finals only once, but then it had to face defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders. Now to win IPL 2025, Punjab Kings have probably thought of making a completely different team. For this reason, the Punjab team has retained only two players in the retention. These include Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh. Both these players have performed well for Punjab for some time and have led the team to victory in many matches on their own. 

Punjab Kings Kings have the most money.

Now before the IPL Mega Auction 2025, Punjab Kings has the biggest purse. The team has Rs 110.5 crore left. At the same time, it can use 4 RTMs in the auction. It would like to bring Arshdeep Singh and Ashutosh Sharma back to the team through RTM. Arshdeep bowls dangerously at the beginning of the innings and also proves to be very economical.
