Retaining Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh provided continuity, while the high-profile acquisitions of Shreyas Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh signal PBKS’s intent to compete for the title.
With Iyer bringing stability to the middle order and Chahal strengthening the spin department, Punjab’s auction strategy focused on filling key gaps.
